Times Square bomb suspect Faisal Shahzad has agreed to let the government delay seeking an indictment against him while it continues discussions with his lawyer.
Federal prosecutors released paperwork Wednesday. They can delay until June 21 deciding how to proceed with charges in the May 1 attempted bombing of Times Square.
The Pakistan-born U.S. citizen was arrested two days after a vehicle was found with a large bomb that failed to ignite.
Authorities say he cooperated with investigators for two weeks before he asked for a lawyer. Shahzad was charged with attempted use of weapons of mass destruction and attempted acts of terrorism.
A message for comment left with his lawyer was not immediately returned.
