BBC: A man suspected of attempting to detonate a car bomb in New York City has been arrested.
Faisal Shahzad, a US citizen of Pakistani origin, is accused of driving the explosives-laden car into Times Square on Saturday evening.
He is due to appear in court in Manhattan later.
US Attorney General Eric Holder said Mr Shahzad was arrested at John F Kennedy Airport attempting to board a flight to Dubai.
Reports from the US say Mr Shahzad recently returned from a five-month visit to Pakistan.
The FBI said it had searched his home in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on Tuesday.
In a statement quoted by AFP news agency, Emirates Airlines said US officials had removed three people from its Flight EK 202 from New York to Dubai, moments before it was due to take off.
It added: "Full security procedures were activated, including the deplaning of all passengers and a thorough screening of the aircraft, passengers, and baggage."
A senior Pakistani security source in the Pakistani capital Islamabad told the BBC that the authorities had no knowledge of Mr Shahzad.
He also dismissed statements released by the Pakistani Taliban saying that they were behind the failed attack and promising more to come.
