Suspected Times Square Bomber Faisal Shahzad appeared in a Manhattan federal courtroom for the first time since his arrest on May 3. He is facing 5 counts related to a failed plot to detonate a car bomb in the center of the cross roads of America.
A non-handcuffed Shahzad entered a packed courtroom wearing a gray sweatsuit and sat down next to his attorney. He appeared healthy with his hair well kept and a trim beard. He was very quiet – speaking only once when addressed by the federal magistrate – and kept his eyes looking down at the desk.
The hearing took less than 10 minutes before the judge ordered Shahzad detained until his next hearing on June 1st. When exiting the courtroom, federal marshals handcuffed him and led him out.
