Faisal Shahzad: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

Shahzad is a naturalized U.S. citizen. He was born in Pakistan in either Kashmir, Karachi, or Pabbi (a village in Nowshera District east of Peshawar).[19][20][21] The village Mohib Banda (near Peshawar) is his ancestral home, which his father left before he was born.[22] Pakistani government officials said to Time that Shahzad is of Kashmiri descent.[1][2] Forbes reported that he is of Pashtun extraction, and The New York Times reported that he identified proudly with his tribal Pashtun heritage.[3][23][24] He is the youngest of four children.

Time opined that his family's background in the northwest meant that he likely spoke Pashto, a rare asset in the training camps compared to other Western volunteers.[25] Faiz Ahmed, a former mayor in Mohib Banda – his ancestral home – and a close friend of his father, said in this regard in an interview with National Public Radio: "This is a tragedy for me and every Pakistani, every Pashtun."[26] Shahzad comes from a wealthy, well-educated family in northwest Pakistan.[7] His father, Baharul Haq, lives in a suburb of Peshawar. He was a senior official in the Pakistan Air Force, holding the rank of Air Vice-Marshal (the equivalent of a two-star general) before leaving the air force in 1992,[7][27] and is a deputy director general of the Civil Aviation Authority of Pakistan.[28][29][30] He had begun as a common airman, but became a fighter pilot excelling in aerobatics, and was posted in England and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.[3]
