Waived his right, speedy arraignment
A Pakistani-American charged in the failed Times Square car bombing has waived his right to a speedy arraignment and was not expected to appear in court on Wednesday, a person briefed on the case said, adding that no court appearance has been scheduled.
Federal authorities have said that the man, http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/s/faisal_shahzad/index.html?inline=nyt-per, 30, began cooperating after his arrest late Monday night and has provided valuable intelligence, in addition to admitting that he drove the car bomb into Times Square and received bomb-making training in the tribal regions ofhttp://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/pakistan/index.html?inline=nyt-geo.
Please explain to me the emboldened parts.
Though I know "waive" means "to not to demand your right" and "arraignment" means "to formally accuse someone", I cannot understand the emboldened parts.
