Times Square bomb suspect Faisal Shahzad was questioned before he was read his Miranda rights, FBI Deputy Director John Pistole announced at a press briefing moments ago.

Shahzad was questioned last night and this morning under the “public safety exception” to the Miranda rule, Pistole said. Shahzad was “cooperative,” and “provided valuable intelligence and evidence.”

“He was eventually transported to another location, Mirandized, and continued talking,” Pistole said.

He was Mirandized later and continued to cooperate and provide valuable information.
