The main suspect in an attempt to set off a car bomb in New York\'s Times Square has admitted weapons and terrorism charges.



Faisal Shahzad reportedly told a court in Manhattan that he wanted to plead guilty and 100 times more.



The Pakistani-born US citizen admitted all 10 charges and as a result there will be no trial.



He’s to be sentenced in October.



The police had reported that the petrol and propane bomb was left in a sports utility vehicle near Broadway theatres on May 1 but failed to ignite.
