NEW YORK – Police investigating a terror attack that could have set off a deadly fireball in Times Square focused Sunday on finding a man who was videotaped shedding his shirt near the SUV where the bomb was found.

Police said the gasoline-and-propane bomb was crude but could have sprayed shrapnel and metal parts with enough force to kill pedestrians and knock out windows on one of America's busiest streets, full of Broadway theaters and restaurants on a Saturday night.

More than 100 pounds of fertilizer rigged with wires and fireworks were found with the bomb, but police said it was not the ammonium nitrate grade that can explode.

The surveillance video shows an unidentified white man in his 40s slipping down an alley and taking off a shirt, revealing another underneath. In the same clip, he's seen looking back in the direction of the smoking vehicle and furtively putting the first shirt in a bag, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.

The homemade bomb was made largely with ordinary items including three barbecue grill-sized propane tanks, two 5-gallon gasoline containers, store-bought fireworks and cheap alarm clocks attached to wires.

"The intent of whoever did this to cause mayhem, create casualties," Kelly said. (1 image)

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.

"You've got to put right and wrong above legal and illegal. Because when tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty; and it is not rebellion at all, it is submission to the higher law that our government is in rebellion to. We're not the rebels, they're the rebels."

It emphasizes the point that it was necessary that the explosives could have worked - or even existed - for the heart of the biggest city to paralyzed for several hours. Anyone capable of nothing more than hotwiring a car could pull a similar "prank".

I wonder if this was a test, to see how we'd react to another false flag. They COULD have killed/injured a lot of people. For whatever reason, I thank God they didn't.

Has anyone from Homeland Security bothered to ask the beat cops that walk Times Square that the place is loaded with certified KooKs? Years ago we would have put the propane tanks in the trunk of our radio car for home use and called a tow truck. Case closed.

Yeah, but that was in a different country, probably the United States of America if I had to guess.

Were to God, that were literally true.

Let's do it and see how it goes here and there.

We may want to do like Tim Robbins in Shawshank Redemption, and casually drop them down our pant's leg as we stroll around our towns. But that would be fun to rig up.

Should anyone wish to personalize the rounds, so much the better.

Have fun with it.

The top grade "bombers" that have changed this nation's political landscape (OKC, 9-11) are US government approved. What you see in the Fisher Price, Times Square bomber, is a lone KooK who the authorities are pretending to take seriously so they can justify their ever growing police state.

To be honest, I don't consider 9/11 to be a "bomber" job so much as an amateurish and inane "crash a plane into a building" job (or if you're inclined to conspiracy, shoot a missile into the Pentagon). OKC, who knows? Fertilizer though? I mean, c'mon.

Nah, I'm waxing rather nostalgic for the semi-mad scientist type with his white lab coat and round sunglasses who invents a mechanical wonder whose explosive operations are genius and whose implementation is masterful. The kind who, when the bomb explodes, can toast the demise of humanity with a nice glass of Scotch while quoting medieval poetry. You just don't get that kind of workmanship these days.

There's a reason for a lack of any of those things. This wasn't a bomb, this was yet another demonstration of a society comprised of cowards and yellow, skirt wearing "men" and shrill quivering women.

Land of the brave, indeed.

Don't get me wrong, they'll make it out to be a bomb until their dying breath, they may even get the guy to "confess", but this was no bomb. I have more explosive ordinance in my hall closet than this guy had in his car.

With OKC, both the ATF and FBI had informants inside Elohim City. It's a matter of record. McVeigh's lawyer introduced it all in his book above. With 9-11, Larry Silverstein said it all when he asked that WTC 7 be pulled.
