NEW YORK - WNBC.com has learned that NYPD and FBI officials are now revisiting an incident that occurred along the Canadian border last month because they are concerned there might be a connection to the Times Square explosion.
Four men trying to cross the border tried to flee the checkpoint when Canadian officials tried to question them, investigators said. Two of the men got away, officials said.
The men left behind a backpack with photos of various New York City locations including Times Square, according to sources speaking on condition of anonymity.
One of the photos included the military recruitment center, officials said. As a precaution, NYPD outreach officers last month went to various New York City businesses, including the Times Square recruitment center, to investigate if there had been any recent threats. No threat information was known at the time.

I think they are barking up the wrong tree.
Check the middle-aged anti-war hippies in the Village.
nah. for them it's a pastime. this is the work of a zealot and an idiot. not that they aren't zealous idiots...they're just too lazy.
Seems rather nonchalant given the photos and the flight upon being stopped. Not reassuring, not in the least.
I guess the media considers the two mutually exclusive?
I agree, what did they tell them after waterboarding? Oh, Jeeze, whdaya mean they just talked nasty about their mothers and let em go? I hope we at least put panties on their heads.
I know what they’re saying: Terrorists = Jihadists.
It was a guy on a bicycle who tossed a low-powered homemade bomb, little more than a firecracker.
A Muslim terrorist would blow the place to smithereens in the middle of the day when there were people in it.
Geez, the article doesn’t mention where they tried to cross the border.
“Four men trying to cross the border tried to flee the checkpoint when Canadian officials tried to question them, investigators said.”
As terrorists go, not very smart. The Canadians were only questioning them. Can’t they just make up something?
Check if William Ayers has an alibi for early this AM.
hum I guess they are different? To me they are the same.
Once I heard the “escaped on a bicycle” thing, I said to myself “that’s it! Anarchists! Sticking, unbathed long haired anarchist kids of bikes!”
Good analysis.
As terrorists go, not very smart. The Canadians were only questioning them. Cant they just make up something?
We cant blame the Canadians, where the heck were those guys and gals on our side of the border?
It was considerably more than a firecracker, and letters were sent by the perps.

They need to round up everyone at the next Critical Mass ride. ...and not just because of the Times Square bombing.
