Faisal Shahzad entered a surprise guilty plea Monday to the failed attempt to detonate a car bomb in Times Square on May 1. Shahzad, a Pakistan-born Connecticut resident, pleaded guilty before a New York federal judge to 10 counts, leading with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction. He railed in court against the U.S. presence in Iraq and Afghanistan and the "killing of Muslims" in Somalia and other countries, telling the court he would plead guilty "100 times over" but considered that what he did "was not a crime."
