Who Is Faisal Shahzad?

Who is Faisal Shahzad? And how did this 30-year-old naturalized citizen become the type of person who would want to drive a car bomb into Times Square on a Saturday night?

Shahzad appeared to be living the American Dream: He was married, had two kids, and recently bought a brand new home in Shelton, Conn. But he lost that home in foreclosure, and people who knew Shahzad told New York Times reporter James Barron that he had become more reserved and religious in the past year, as he encountered money problems.

WNYC's Amy Eddings spoke with James Barron about the suspect and how his financial troubles may have contributed to his recent extremism.
