cbs news ^ | 5-2-10 | cbs2.com

The Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for the failed car bomb attack in Times Square in New York City.

In 1 minute video allegedly released by the Pakistani Taliban, the group says the attack is revenge for the death of its leader Baitullah Mehsud and the recent killings of the top leaders of al Qaeda in Iraq. Images of the slain militants are shown as an unidentified voice recites the message. English subtitles are at the bottom of the screen.

The video was uncovered Sunday by the U.S.-based SITE intelligence Group, which monitors militant websites.

Too bad their hopes were dashed. Now they will drop the story.

They could revert back to the ol' "hatred created by the actions of the previous administration" routine.

Lets hope the “diversion” aspect is false.

So ... a car loaded with death is driven into Times Square and parked. A driver calmly gets out and walks away.

No detonation.


My take on it?

zero MUST stop the conservative momentum and the only way is for a disaster .. a really nasty disaster that would either sway voter's opinions or justify delaying the election.


The primary is comparatively hours away and the election just around the corner.

NONE of us have much time;
WE had better have our candidates in place and commanding a lead .. AND we'd better be electorally mobilized.

THEY need to stop us, because we are stopping them.


zero's a Muslim and the enemy of personal Liberty and Freedom.

*** Big Explosion to follow in Times Square ***

A local station (Channel 9 in NYC) just broke in with the following info. A phone call placed to police at 4:00AM this morning warned that the incident at Times Square last nite was just a diversion. The caller claimed that the “BIG ONE” was on its way. Just on TV about five minutes ago.

Video is up:

That kinda makes more sense.

They put the bomb in front of the headquarters of Viacom/ Comedy central building.

If that phone call can be sourced, it’s time for some major step up retaliation. Don’t tug on superman’s cape stuff. Of course, OB will suggest a serious handholding proceeded by a proper bow.

Are they going to release the video tapes and why not a name?If he is not in custody should the public be concerned he could try something similar?

They must have a whole bunch of money tied up in stocks because they never seem to hit Wall Street

NYPD said they have a name and think a PA camera also has his image. Only will say WM, 40’s.

If a shooter goes on rampage and PD is looking for him, usually we get pic, name etc.

So....do they have him in custody and not saying or are they looking for him?
