New York City Bombing Attempt by

On May 2, 2010 a local vendor was tired and sat down in his chair. As he sat down he saw smoke coming out from the SUV that later was discovered to have been packed with explosives. A black Nissan Pathfinder was parked in Times Square at the corner of 45th and Broadway. The owner of the Pathfinder was believed to be a person in Connecticut but that person said they sold it. No suspects have been found but a man who is believed to be in his 40's was seen taking off his shirt to reveal a different shirt underneath right next to parked Nissan and also looking back several times to where the car was.

Paul J. Browne of the police department said that had it exploded, "It would have been, in all likelihood, a good possibility of people being killed, windows shattered, but not resulting in a building collapse." The police have yet to find a motive for this attempt but nothing is clear yet. It is very clear that the police will be trying to encounter any evidence linking the car to someone.

As of today, a man named Faisal Shahzad, an American citizen from Pakistan, was arrested and taken into custody after trying to leave the country to go to Dubai. Investigators say that due to the failed attempt, most of the evidence inside the car was usable and they were able to arrest the suspect very quickly. Police are now trying to find any connections with this attempt with any terrorist organizations including the Taliban. "Now as citizens we must stay alert and report any suspicious behavior, staying alert like the food vendor could save many lives." said Chief of Police.
