http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN0214043420100502?type=marketsNews The New York Police Department said on Saturday the incident that caused Times Square to be evacuated was what appeared to be a car bomb, which was being dismantled by officers on the scene. "This appears to be a car bomb that the bomb squad is in the process of dismantling," police spokesman Paul Browne said. "We do not know the motive." Browne said an NYPD mounted policeman spotted a box smoking in the back of the sport utility vehicle and that the area was evacuated shortly after that.

It is a scary situation that this kind of thing can happen but I heard that the police already have finger prints and other evidence. Don't forget the t-shirt vendor that alerted the police.

It is all about money. Already NY is asking the president for more money to fight terrorists. when does it stop. The terrorists definitely won.

Well, thankfully the person had no idea what they were doing. The NYPD, for as much bad can be said about it, does take this seriously and will do a good job hunting this person down. So far they've apparently got a lot of information.

What got all over me was the reporters breaking it all down on why the bomb DIDN'T go off. I told my husband it was just like our media to keep the criminals updated on where they went wrong with their little endeavor. Will the media ever learn that they don't have to tell EVERYTHING they know. And isn't there a law somewhere limiting these vultures on how much they can tell? I got so disgusted I just turned off the TV.
