From news article:
WASHINGTON -- Law enforcement officials say a fourth suspect has been detained in Pakistan in connection with a disrupted plot to detonate bombs on the New York City subway system.

The two officials also say the plotters hoped to detonate bombs on trains at two stations at the very heart of the city's sprawling subway system: Times Square and Grand Central Terminal.

Federal prosecutors have already said publicly they were seeking other suspects overseas. Three suspected members of the plot have been charged in the U.S. The two officials say a fourth person was arrested in Pakistan weeks ago in connection with the case.

The officials are speaking on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss details of the investigation.
