FBI counterterrorism agents today searched a Camden business and a Cherry Hill home for evidence related to the Times Square bombing attempt, two federal law-enforcement officials said.

There is no threat to the public from explosives at either site, said FBI spokesman J.J. Klaver.

Two law enforcement sources said the search warrants by the Philadelphia-based Joint Terrorism Task Force were executed this morning.

An official said a Camden business, Prompt Printing, and a Cherry Hill home near the old racetrack site on Haddonfield Road, were searched.

In Boston, where another search warrant was executed, three people have been arrested on immigration charges, said Dean Boyd, a Justice Department spokesman in Washington.

"At this time we can provide no further details as the investigation is ongoing," Boyd said. "These searches are the product of evidence that has been gathered in the investigation subsequent to the attempted Times Square bombing and do not relate to any known immediate threat to the public or active plot against the United States."

The New York Times reported that a location in Long Island was also searched.

Faisal Shazad, the Connecticut man charged with attempting to set off a car bomb in Times Square, has reportedly been cooperating with the FBI. The Pakistani-born U.S. citizen has told the FBI that he was trained by the Taliban in Pakistan to build bombs.

So it wasn't just one lone guy with an axe to grind.

There are some leads which may point to a Pakistani connection, but nothing yet conclusive.

A U.S. counterterrorism official said there is "no doubt" of a connection between the Pakistan Taliban and Shahzad, but the extent of that linkage is still not clear. "More time is needed to put meat on the bone," said the official.
