U.S. authorities were searching two locations in the Boston area in connection with the attempted bombing in Times Square on May 1, an FBI spokesman said on Thursday.

The accusation by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder should increase pressure on the Pakistan military to attack the Taliban in the lawless region of North Waziristan.

The police and F.B.I. found the owner of the vehicle that contained the makings of a bomb in Times Square, but he is not a suspect, the police said.

A crude bomb of propane, gasoline and fireworks began to detonate but did not explode on Saturday, prompting the evacuation of tourists and theatergoers.
