Cellphone led FBI to Times Square car bomb suspect arrest

According to Politico, a senior official said that the number from a disposable cellphone led FBI agents to the suspect arrested Monday night for allegedly driving a car bomb into Times Square on Saturday evening.

They were able to basically get one phone number and by running it through a number of databases, figure out who they thought the guy was,” the official said.
