Faisal Shahzad, a Taliban terrorist?

Faisal Shahzad was born in Karachi, Pakistan. In December 1998 he was granted a U.S. F-1 student visa and went to study at Southeastern University in Washington, D.C., before transferred in 2000 to the University of Bridgeport, where he received a B.A. in computer science and engineering. In April 2002 he was granted an H1-B visa for skilled workers. He remained in the U.S. for three years on that visa, earning an M.B.A at University of Bridgeport in the summer of 2005.

Shahzad lived in Shelton, Connecticut, just outside Bridgeport for about three years. On October 20, 2008, he reported his marriage to Huma Asif Mian, an American citizen. He became a U.S. citizen on April 17, 2009.  With Huma Mian, he has two children, a girl and a boy.

Crazy man! For the sake of his kids, Faisal Shahzad shouldn’t have committed such offenses by plotting to blow up Times Square! No mercy to him if he is to be jailed for life time!

Here is a gallery of 11 pictures for HS-AAJ Boeing 737-301 aircraft of Thai Airasia, a subsidiary of Malaysia’s AirAsia (which boasts the world’s best no-frill Airlines). These images were photographed outside of Penang International Airport, Malaysia, at the afternoon of April 4, 2010.

On the day, the jet flied in from Bangkok as Flight FD 3545. Around one hour later, it returned to the Thai capital city as Flight FD 3546. I snapped its landing and taking-off outside of the iron-wire fence of the airport. Under the direct sunlight, the pics look very hard and dull.

Eight years later, the jet was with US Airways. It was leased to Malaysia’s AirAsia in October 2003 before finally went on to with Thai AirAsia in December 2004.
