Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said Sunday that the Pakistani Taliban directed the Times Square car-bomb plot and is actively recruiting more agents to carry out attacks on U.S. soil.
"We know that they helped facilitate it; we know that they probably helped finance it, and that [the suspect] was working at their direction," Mr. Holder said in an appearance on ABC News' "This Week."
Mr. Holder joined another White House official, counterterrorism adviser John Brennan, on the Sunday talk-show circuit to defend the administration's handling of the latest near-miss terrorism strike.
Both men said the Pakistani government was cooperating with U.S. officials in the effort to track down the Taliban contacts who trained 30-year-old Times Square bomb suspect Faisal Shahzad.
