New York (CNN) -- Faisal Shahzad, the 30-year-old Pakistani-American suspect in the Times Square bombing plot, is expected to be sentenced Tuesday.
Prosecutors are seeking a sentence of life in prison for Shahzad.
On Wednesday, prosecutors say Shahzad carefully selected his location as a highly populated target and intended to strike again if he wasn't caught the first time.
Shahzad is accused of attempting to set off a vehicle bomb in Times Square on May 1, according to documents filed in federal court Wednesday.
The bomb failed to detonate and he was arrested two days later while trying to leave the country on a flight from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport bound for Pakistan.
