NEW YORK — New York City police were questioning people and studying video surveillance tapes Thursday to determine who may be responsible for detonating two makeshift grenades outside the building that houses the British Consulate (search) earlier in the morning. The explosions, which occurred on Britain's Election Day, caused the glass panels at the building's entrance in midtown Manhattan to shatter but no one was injured, officials said. A one-foot chunk from the planter was also torn off. The department's bomb squad was at the scene and streets were closed in the area. The blasts happened at 3:50 a.m. EDT. "Nobody's reported seeing anybody, people heard several explosions … but we're questioning everybody," New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg (search) told reporters at a morning press conference. The FBI and police investigators were questioning a United Nations employee from the Netherlands who was found loitering near the building shortly after the explosion, FOX News confirmed.

Was his name Hans or Hamid?
Now this is VERY interesting.
Any chance the United Nations employee from the Netherlands might be.....a you-know-what?
Kofi annan in disguise? i dunno.
A follower of a certain peaceful religion??
Yet another mere coincidence if true.
Just what I was thinking, sir.
At this point just the fact that it's a UN worker is enough for me.
A "Moose-Limb" ??
Hmmm....
Just joking, of course, but could Kofi be trying to divert attention from all those files recently turned over to congress?

Meanwhile democrats continue to block John Boltons nomination because he's a big meanie.
Were his ears bleeding , or have a prayer rug ;)
I don't know if you remember or not; but last year there was a UN Security Guard found shot inside the UN. The UN made statements saying the Guard committed suicide.
We never heard any follow ups to this.
Just adding a tidbit.
Diplomatic Immunity.
No, it's OK!! Part of the agreement that most UN employees and officials made to get all their Iraqi oil money in bribes, pay-offs and kickbacks was to agree to deliver packages under "diplomatic seal" whenever asked. The UNer was probably just following up and to protest this or, even, mention it is part of the vast right wing Christian conspiracy.
That is one issue that must go. Diplomatic Immunity is not a license to kill and walk.
GLOVER: "...Just been revoked." - gunshot
If you have not already done so, please sign the petition to get the stinking, corrupt to the core UN out of the USA. Let's help relocate these anti-American thugs to some 3rd world shithole where they belong.
