NYPD: Car bomb contained nonexplosive fertilizer - Yahoo! News

NEW YORK – New York City police investigating a botched car bombing in Times Square say the bomb contained fertilizer that was incapable of exploding.

Top police spokesman Paul Browne says more than 100 pounds of a substance found in the back of an SUV parked on a busy city street near a theater showing "The Lion King" was fertilizer

But unlike the ammonium nitrate grade fertilizer that has been used in terror attacks including the Oklahoma City bombing, Browne says this fertilizer would not have caused a massive explosion.

Police are trying to determine what was in the homemade bomb, why it failed and who was responsible for the botched bombing, which sent thousands of tourists into a panic on Saturday night

The video shows an unidentified white man in his 40s slipping down an alley, taking off one shirt and 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.

A Pakistani Taliban group claimed responsibility for the failed attack in a 1-minute video. Kelly, however, said police have no evidence to support the claims, and noted that the same group had falsely taken credit for previous attacks on U.S. soil. The commissioner also cast doubt on an e-mail to a news outlet claiming responsibility.

Very interesting.

Like I said in another thread, highly doubtful this was the Taliban. Course, they are gonna try to take credit for this.

Taking credit for a failure---sure is a crappy way to recruit.

Sure, but they'll paint it as a moral victory. They'll say something along the lines of they were able to get a bomb in Times Square and to imagine what would happen if they actually were able to get a bomb that works in there.

I wouldn't spread that around too much Willow. You'd have to look at somebody twice if YOU think they'd make a good mod..

In full knowledge that I am risking a neg from Bones, I have to disagree with that.

Bones doesn't have the sand in her craw to be a good mod.
