It also has forced the Obama  administration to review how it would respond to a successful attack on  U.S. soil.U.S. authorities say  Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani-American, has admitted to the Times Square  bomb attempt and has been cooperating with investigators since his  arrest on May 3.American and  Pakistani authorities are likely scrambling for clues on whether those  detained have ties to militants in Pakistan, who are bent on toppling  the state and are violently opposed to the U.S. presence.<a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE64S0CX20100529" target="_blank">reuters</a></blockquote>
