NYPD's Kelly Casts Doubt on Taliban Claim; Police Say Man Near Scene Was Looking Around In A 'Furtive Manner'
New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said a white male in his 40s was seen near the SUV that was parked on a Times Square street and packed with explosives. Authorities found potentially deadly explosives in SUV left in Times Square.
The man was seen leaving the area and shedding a dark shirt, revealing a red shirt underneath, about a half block from where survellance cameras saw the vehicle entering Times Square in New York City at about 6:28 pm Saturday. The video of the possible suspect is expected to be released later today. Kelly said the individual was looking around in a furtive manner, but also stressed that the behavior could be totally innocent.
At a Sunday afternoon press conference, Kelly said police would be reviewing hundreds of hours of videotape, and that police had identified the owner of the green Nissan Pathfinder but had not yet spoken to the owner. Detectives are in Pennsylvania today meeting with tourists who think they may have captured a suspect on video.
Kelly said "no evidence" supports the Pakistani Taliban's claim of responsibilty for the bombing, but had not yet ruled out either domestic or international motives for the attempted attack.

Was he holding a sign with a quote from Thomas Jefferson?
Laying one brick, does not a bricklayer make....
...as anyone who has spent any time in TSQ can tell you, about 80% of the people walking around NYC is in a constant state of furtiveness
well, many of us called this.
They need a reason.....................
“I bet he was listening to Mantovani on the SUV’s CD player”
..nah. More likely Barry Manilow or Hank Williams Jr.
Hmmm...guy takes off dark suit and reveals a RED, probably Marxist-inspired shirt and heads off to the May Day commie rallies...this is what I see.
I'm as cynical as they come...so those were the first words out of my mouth this morning.
However, if reports are correct and this Taliban claim of responsibility came in before the event...as is being reported...that will pretty much prove it.
“The man was seen leaving the area and shedding a dark shirt, revealing a red shirt underneath”
He was wearing RED! Obviously a REPUBLICAN!
unless he is a communist...
anybody seen Bill Ayers lately? On second thought, no, the guy they’re looking for is younger.
Whoever put out this report needs to get with the program - namely, the Muslims did it because of that wascally Netanyahu who wants to build houses in Jerusalem. Netanyahu’s fault.
“It’s those Amish, at it again!!!”
Not without someone else to drive them to the job!
I'm waiting for them to report that someone noticed what looked like a "pocket constitution" on him.
And FOX gets accused of being biased.
It's so nice that there are still people like you around. Like little children. So sweet.
Why, if you look up at that fluffy cloud, I'll blow a bubble from my bubble pipe and it will pop on the tip of your nose. You'll giggle!
Nothing points to the Taliban? I understood that the video claiming the action predates the discovery of the car bomb.
They could’ve just as easily said “middle-aged Jew” or “portly African-American woman.”
It’s TIME SQUARE, for cryin’ out loud!
Was he wearing jeans?
If so, I know somebody that fits that description who lives just next door in New Jersey.
Actually, a guy from the middle East could be identified as a White male and it would be correct.
“white male in his 40s”
Question - If the NYPD begins stopping every white male in his 40’s for questioning, will the Reverend Al Sharpton come on the scene and accuse the NYPD of “Racial Profiling”?
There are plenty of white Muslims, Bosnians, Chechens, etc.
