A Pakistan-born US citizen has been charged with terrorism over the failed car-bomb attack in New York\'s Times Square on Saturday.



Thirty year old Faisal Shahzad was also charged with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, according to documents filed at a Manhattan federal court.



Shahzad was arrested on a Dubai-bound plane at JFK airport on Monday.



Earlier, President Barack Obama vowed that Americans would not cower in fear after Saturday\'s bombing attempt.



He has described the incident as a sobering reminder of the times and vowed that justice will be done.
