Dry run perhaps? Not a good sign, whether it's terrorism related or not.

"whether it's terrorism related or not"

A pipe bomb in a subway station is terrorisum. You don't have to have a rag tied around your head and smell like a camel to qualify as a terrorist.

A police spokesman insisted that authorities do not believe that the incident was terrorism

So we can all go back to what we were doing, knowing that anyone in the subway who was terrified when the explosion occurred was simply overreacting.

The good news is that, as tight as the job market might be, anyone can apparently get a job as a "police spokesman" or an "authority".

Sheesh, whata maroon.

From the attached ABC article:

"But now police are now investigating whether the transit cop who was hurt in the incident was somehow involved in causing it in the first place."

Also note that they have not released his name yet.

Excuse me, but burning bags full of exploding pipe bombs are EXACTLY what terrorism is! Gotta be a fricken DemocRat!

When was the last time a pipe bomb went off in a NY subway?

Of course this was a dry run. Let's be realistic here.

So this was why my bus had to go up Sixth Avenue instead of Eighth. I heard the driver get the All Clear at about 9:45 or 10 p.m.

Could this have been someone trying to object to the rule that police can't search the commies' bags unless there is a reason to be suspicious? (Wheels turning overtime here, I admit.)

Dry run for terrorists?
Or for DemoRATs who will soon be protesting Bush?

Something is strange here. The article says it happened at 8pm. but Times Square was full of police cars with flashers going around 6:30 as I was walking back to Penn Station.

Not sure what to make of it, unless the Post has is mistaken about the time.

Terrorism: any act of violence designed to create panic or terror in a population.

Regardless of who the perpetrator of this was this is an act of terror...

Whether it was domestic or outside it is scary that this is happening in the subway of NYC just before the convention. I wonder of the same things are happening in Boston?

And Prayers and Kudos to the cop for getting the two other people clear.

Yep the dry runs seem to be going on while a New York Judge is stopping the search of peoples belongings, If i were a New York Cop, I would use this as a go light for any search and let BLoomberg pass his own city law and Pitakee for NY State law, under home rule.
