Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad has been officially indicted:

June 18 (Bloomberg) -- Faisal Shahzad, accused in the attempted May 1 car-bombing of New York’s Times Square, was indicted on 10 terrorism-related charges by a federal grand jury, Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said.

Shahzad, 30, was charged with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction in yesterday’s indictment, which disclosed new details about the failed plot. He has been held without bail since appearing before a federal magistrate on May 18, when he was assigned a lawyer.

In the indictment, prosecutors added five new charges to their case against Shahzad, including conspiracy counts and an attempted terrorist act transcending national borders. He was also charged with criminal possession of a 9 mm Kel-Tec rifle, which was found loaded in his car the day of his arrest.
