An anti-terrorism court (ATC) has acquitted all four accused of the New York Times Square bombing plot, as no proper evidence could be presented against them. The accused Shoaib Arshad, Shahid Abbasi, Faisal Bashir Abbasi and Hambal Akhter were arrested two years ago for allegedly providing assistance to Faisal Shahzad, who was arrested by the US authorities on May 1, 2010, for carrying out failed car bombing. Shahzad was arrested approximately 53 hours after the attempt.
