Updated: Federal authorities said Friday that intelligence they obtained about a possible threat to the U.S. homeland from Pakistan was based on a source who had lied to them the whole time. The development comes one day after Fox News reported that the U.S. government had obtained information indicating the group that orchestrated the failed Times Square bombing may be looking to strike again.
The FBI said Friday it was charging Syed Omair Ali with “knowingly and willfully” making false statements to federal investigators.
