FROM NICK DENTON, AN EMAIL ON THE TIMES SQUARE BOMBING:
I was curious about Shahzad’s background.
This AP report above suggests that his wife is Pashtun. And Shehzad seems to be one of the sub-tribes of the Ghilzai federation.
The Ghilzai is the main tribal group supporting the Taliban. It’s Mullah Omar’s tribe.

Any thoughts?
