Police found an apparent car bomb in a parked sport utility vehicle Saturday evening in New York City's Times Square, then evacuated buildings and cleared streets of thousands of tourists in "the Crossroads of the World."
A mounted police officer noticed smoke coming from the SUV at 6:30 p.m., police said. Bomb investigators found propane tanks, powder and an apparent timing device inside, according to a law enforcement official who wasn't authorized to release the information and spoke on condition of anonymity.
An official tells Fox News that a dark SUV was found to have what initial reports indicated was a "failed incendiary device," including gasoline, propane and wires.
A man was seen running from the vehicle, but authorities have not been able to find or identify him.

Is this the third or fourth time this has happened? With the spectacular job this administration is doing, I forget the little details.

They will say the CAR BOMB at TIMES SQUARE isn't "terrorism related"
They always do.

According to Fox News, Governor Paterson said it was terrorism, but he has had some disagreements with the administration.

NEW YORK (CBS) - The NYPD is checking surveillance cameras around Times Square Sunday as they search for suspects in the car bomb scare. "We're in the process of identifying additional cameras which may have captured images of the vehicle and more important, people seen driving or leaving the vehicle," said NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly.
The FBI is also involved in the investigation.
All City cops whose shift was supposed to end at midnight were kept on the job overnight, and checks were conducted in the outer boroughs for any suspicious activity that might be related to the incident.
Police also said the license plate on the rear of the SUV did not belong to the vehicle, rather it was traced to a man who said it was on a car that he left at a junk yard.

Pakistani Taliban claim credit for failed NYC Times Square car bombing
By Bill RoggioMay 2, 2010 10:24 AM
Audiotape purportedly from Qari Hussain Mehsud, who takes credit for the failed car bombing in New York City. Qari Hussain is a senior leader and master bomb maker in the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan.
A top Pakistani Taliban commander took credit for yesterday's failed car bomb attack in New York City.
Qari Hussain Mehsud, the top bomb maker for the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, said he takes "fully responsibility for the recent attack in the USA." Qari Hussain made the claim on an audiotape accompanied by images that was released on a YouTube website that calls itself the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan News Channel.
The tape has yet to be verified, but US intelligence officials contacted by The Long War Journal believe it is legitimate. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan News Channel on YouTube was created on April 30. Officials believe it was created to announce the Times Square attack, and Qari Hussain’s statement was pre-recorded.

"This attack is a revenge for the great & valuable martyred leaders of mujahideen," Qari Hussain said. He listed Baitullah Mehsud, the former leader of the Pakistani Taliban who was killed in a Predator strike in August 2009, and Abu Omar al Baghdadi, the former leader of al Qaeda Islamic State of Iraq who was killed by Iraqi forces in mid-April. And although he was not mentioned, an image of Abu Ayyub al Masri, the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, was also displayed in the images accompanying the audiotape.
Qari Hussain also said the failed attack was "revenge for the Global American interference & terrorism in Muslim countries, especially in Pakistan for Lal Masjid operation," a reference to the July 2008 Pakistani military assault on Islamists holed up in the Red Mosque in Islamabad, as well as Predator strikes in Pakistan's tribal areas and the arrest and detention of Pakistani scientist Aifa Siddique.
Qari Hussain warned NATO that it must denounce the US and apologize for "the massacres in Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Pakistani tribal areas otherwise be prepared for the worst destruction and devastation in their regions."
At the opening of the tape, the failed car bomb was described as a "jaw-breaking blow to Satan USA," however Mayor Michael Bloomberg described the device, which failed to detonate, as “amateurish.â€
The car bomb was discovered Saturday evening after a street vendor spotted smoke coming from a white Nissan Pathfinder SUV and alerted police.
The bomb squad was dispatched to the scene and discovered a crude bomb made of “three canisters of propane like those used for barbecue grills, two five-gallon cans of gasoline, consumer-grade fireworks … and two clocks with batteries,†The New York Times reported.
Police currently do not have a suspect. The license plate is not registered to the Nissan, and the vehicle identification number has been removed. Police are also looking at video from surrounding stores to see if they can determine anything about the identity of the bomber.

Yeah we cant even spell bomb much less make one. :lmao:

it should probably be noted that, as revenges go, this one sucked big time.

I was just reading the loonies in the thread about this just posted in the DUmpster (posted by Mr. Snuggle Bunny--you picked that name just so people would have to feel like complete dopes when they type, didn't you?) do anything to try avoid suspecting Islamic terrorism, because we all know there's just been soooooo muich violence from conservatives/tea party people. I wonder how they're re-spinning this in cloudcuckooDUland. Oh wait, isn't there one there now about Islamic radicals being inspired by conservative tea party activists, via Dick Cheney's secret time-travel/communication device?
-
Apparently Pakistani Taliban are taking credit
Napalitano must be so disappointed.

Why such a crudely made device though? That alone has me saying....hmmm.

Maybe it was the best this group could do. Wasn't the failed Christmas Day plane bombing by Abdulmutallab "crude," in the sense that it didn't work according to design?
This attack is reasonably similar to one of my first speculations of how AQ--although apparently not AQ in this case, but they're all Islamic jihadists, although not on this board--might carry out another attack. I thought AQ might get its hands on pressurized tanks of chlorine gas, still used commonly enough for wate treatment, as far as I know. Build a bomb, encircle the bomb with propane tanks as here to increase the blast, then encircle that with chlorine gas cylinders...
http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/gas-cylinders-chlorine.html
Doesn't look like it ought to be too hard for them to do. Here they opted just for propane and a blast. I saw some speculation elsewhere as to the possibility that Viacom might have been picked because of the South Park/Mohammed deal.
Cutting throats and piloting airplanes into buildings wasn't all that sophisticated, either. Just really effective. They do seem to be having problems with building bombs here in the US or at long range from their places of greatest security. I've read also that they're not really awash in quality "operatives," if these rabble deserve to be called anything so crisp and latinate sounding.
Now...hmmm...where is there another lawless zone VERY NEAR the US, where enough money could easily buy sanctuary and the time needed to build and deploy some successful weapons? Begins with an M...just on the tip of my tongue...
Islamic terrorists need a "Gaza" for the US, as they now have the actual one for Israel--and even there, fairly crude Quassams ate the best they can usually do--better weapons--missiles--are imported.
-
Obviously BushCo under the direction of Darth Rove is trying to scare us into submission again so he can declare himself president for life.
Oh, wait...
-
Why such a crudely made device though? That alone has me saying....hmmm.
Actually, from the descriptioin it sounded as if it were an improvised fuel-air explosive.
It would have dispersed a flammable vapor over a wide area then ignited t with a secondary charge. The expanded primary explosion area coupled with the pressure wave inherent in FAEs would have been devastating.
Perhaps it was not a product of refined industrial machinery but it was sophisticated in its concept.

Possible fertilizer in the vehicle too, hhhmmm

interesting. I'm a layman in these matters and it didn't sound sophisticated at all to me. I know I'm wrong though...

Apparently the owner of the SUV may be arrested for this.
Terrorists don't try to scrape off VIN numbers on a vehicle thats planned for explosions and...
get this....
it was non-explosive fertilizer.
Talk about FAIL.

Sources tell CBS News the last registered owner of the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder - found in Times Square Saturday night - told authorities he recently sold the vehicle to a "Middle Eastern" or "Hispanic" looking man for $1,300 cash in $100 bills on Craigslist.
Authorities interviewed the Pathfinder's registered owner Sunday night, but say he is not a suspect in the case.
The vehicle identification number on the Pathfinder had been removed from the dashboard, but it was stamped on the engine and axle. Its license plates came from a car found in a Connecticut repair shop.
In addition to this lead, police are also trying to track down a man seen on a surveillance tape released by NYPD earlier this morning, which shows a man in his 40s in Shubert Alley near Times Square removing a dark colored shirt to reveal a red shirt underneath and looking around "furtively."
Authorities are also reviewing a tape, yet to be released, shot by a Pennsylvania tourist who was filming the mounted police officer, Wayne Rhatigan, who initially responded to the suspicious vehicle.

Anyone that can't see some other ethnicity in that video has issues. It could be a white man, but I doubt it.

It has been 20 years now, almost a generation and the Sound is in no way back to the way it was before.
As the oil spreads it will effect Centural America and move with the tides, wind and currents South into South America.
No way around it, the oil will get into the Atlantic and move up the coast. This is Hurricane Season, to add a kicker to the mix.
The scientists and engineers that are desperate to find a way to stop the oil have some ideas on how to do so but, none of their ideas have been tested before at 5,000 feet. I would imagine the pounds per square inch at that depth would implode most submarines. It is not surprising the pipe lines ruptured after a few years under those conditions.
Another problem is that as the earths crust keeps moving and releasing methane from the bottom, pockets, big ones of methane may build up, The Atlantic could become a huge blow torch under the right conditions.
We well may see the distruction of intire species as the oil washes up on the rivers and Bayou's of the Gulf, sooner or later it will get into fresh water and kill off plant life.
This will put any natural disaster the world has seen to shame. Even if we stop the spill next week, we face an enormous crises ahead. There are so many unexpected and out of the blue things that can make it even worse.

Federal authorities are closing in on the man they say is a person of interest in the Times Square car bomb attempt this weekend, who is described as a naturalized American citizen who hails from Pakistan and just returned after spending five months there.
Police release video of possible suspect seen near site of failed attack.There is growing evidence the bomber did not act alone and had ties to radical elements overseas, with one senior official telling ABC News there are several individuals believed to be connected with the bombing and that at least one of them is a Pakistani-American.
Attorney General Eric Holder said today the investigators had made "substantial progress" in tracking the man who drove a Nissan Pathfinder into New York's Times Square with a crude bomb that failed to detonate.
Officials declined to provide the specifics that led them to believe there were overseas links to a larger plot.
Authorities said another clue in the investigation is a video posted online early Sunday morning by persons in Connecticut, who may have been involved in the bomb attempt and are being sought by law enforcement. The video, posted on a site registered one day before the attack, has the Taliban in Pakistan claiming responsibility for the attempted bombing.

It's sensible police work not to name him--if he has confederates, which is likely, they don't want to alert them that they have any one particular guy.

Suspect arrested at JFK Airport attempting to fly to Dubai
(http://msnbcmedia3.msn.com/i/MSNBC/Components/ArtAndPhoto-Fronts/AP_GRAPHICS/AP-TIMES-SQ-BOMB.gif)
NEW YORK - Authorities arrested U.S. citizen Faisal Shahzad in connection with the failed bombing attempt in New York's Times Square as he tried to leave the United States, Attorney General Eric Holder said on Tuesday.
Shahzad was arrested trying to board a flight to Dubai at New York's JFK airport, Holder said in an early morning press conference on Tuesday.
"It was clear that the intent behind this terrorist act was to kill Americans," he said.
Holder said the investigation was ongoing, and said that law enforcement officials had gathered "significant additional evidence." He urged Americans to remain vigilant.
Earlier, officials told The Associated Press that the potential suspect recently traveled to Pakistan, where he had a wife. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the case was at a sensitive stage.
He was being held in New York and couldn't be contacted. His U.S. hometown wasn't disclosed.
-
Good I hope they bury him under the jail
-
Sorry DU. I know you so wanted this to be a white guy.
But his name is...Faisal Shahzad!
I don't know how many times I've read on DU, that there is NO terrorism, its all a GOP) fantasy to justify war.
It sucks to be that stupid. and now they can't even blame the Tea Party.
-
But I thought it wasn't linked to terrorism. Isn't that what they've been telling us since it happened? :thatsright:
-
The overall guess over at DUmmie land, the bomber was going to be a white angry teabagger. :bird: F#$K off and die each and everyone of you dirtbags.
-
The DUmbshits wanted so, so badly for it to be a teabagger, they could almost taste it, they wanted it so bad. :bird:
I used to live about a half hour from this guy, in CT. Jeez you never know. Wife and two kids, seemingly a normal neighbor. Sometimes makes me wonder about my X. BTW, :bird:, X.

An Islamic terrorist named Faisal Shahzad is the Time Square bomber according to media reports. He is Muslim of Pakistani heritage with dual citizenship in the United States, a registered Democrat in the state of Connecticut who may be an Obama donor. He was recently naturalized as a U.S. citizen under the Obama administration’s lenient open door policy.
Let's see if this makes the networks.
I imagine it will get the same coverage regarding the political leaning as the Texas kamikaze pilot and the Georgia college professor.

Wasn't at least one of the Hutaree militia members a Democrat, too??

So- we have had a terrorist attack on US Soil under Obama.
Our security failed to pick up the fact that the guy in question spend the last several months in Pak and training in a terrorist camp. The only thing that worked out for us was the fact the device failed. This time.
15 months after Obama took office we've had a terrorist slip into the country, set a bamb in New York and almost escape.

30 attempted attacks on US soil over the last 9 years. 10 of those 30 have been in the last year. If my math is correct, that's a 400% increase in attacks per year since the Great Nefarious One has taken office.

I think only one of those arrested was registered, and yes he was registered as a dim.
