Suspicious car (bomb?) in Times Square
 
Praise Allah!

Quote:

Several blocks of New York's Times Square remained shut down early Sunday morning as a robot from the city police department's bomb squad checked for explosives after an officer saw smoke coming from a box inside a parked car.
The police department's public information office said the box and other items found in the search are not confirmed at this time to be a bomb.

...

New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said the shutdown began late Satuday after a foot patrol officer passed by a Nissan Pathfinder with Connecticut plates on 45th Street between and 7th and 8th avenues. Browne said the officer noticed a box inside the car with smoke coming out.
Hotels and restaurants were on lockdown and several blocks around Times Square, an iconic landmark popular with tourists, closed to pedestrian and car traffic.

Unreal. Judging from the amount of detail in one of the reports on the explosive and detonation device, this was a real bomb threat averted.

And I'd love for it to be a white guy after all and the Taliban having had taken credit for it.
