Federal officials say that three people have been taken into custody by the Joint Terrorism Task Force in connection with the investigation into the failed car bombing in Times Square.

According to the Associated Press, two of the men have a "direct connection" with Faisal Shahzad, the Connecticut man responsible for parking an explosives-filled SUV in Times Square earlier this month.

They are being held on immigration violations.

The three were taken into custody following raids at locations across the northeast and based on information they received from Shahzad, who authorities say has been cooperating.

An FBI spokeswoman stressed that there is no known immediate threat to the public.

4. Any clue where they are home grown or otherwise?
