New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is holding a terrorism-related press conference tonight at 7:30 pm. NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly and District Attorney Cy Vance will also be in attendance. This is a late breaking addition to Bloomberg's schedule — and the presence of Vance indicates there may have been some sort of arrest. Neither the Mayor's Office nor the NYPD are releasing any information prior to the press conference.
UPDATE 6:24: NBC's Jesse Rodriguez tweets: WNBC: Terror suspect taken into custody yesterday; lone-wolf suspect was preparing a pipe bomb.
UPDATE 6:28: The New York Times is reporting that the NYPD had the suspect under surveillance for about a year — and that he had started to construct a bomb, with the intended target an NYC government building.
UPDATE 6:33: The New York Post has details on the suspect's would-be targets: "city police facilities and US military sites, where he plotted to target returning war personnel and the families who gathered to welcome them home."
UPDATE 6:35: NBC New York adds that sources say the suspect lives with his mother.

Swing a cat by the tail...... You will surely hit one....
LOL!
All those places to blow up. Yet he only just began to create a single pipe bomb after they’ve been watching him for over a year? Either a very slow and overly-cautious builder or he has no clue what he’s doing or something stinks about the whole thing. But, from the sound of it, sure does seem like one of those OWS know-nothings.
Hi Sarah...makes ya wonder if the OWS didn’t indirectly give investagtors cover to go after the bad guys with all the chaos.
7 minutes til Bloomberg speaks....am interested.
CNN reporting the guy is a Hispanic Muslim.
“...Swing a cat by the tail...”

Have you ever actually tried to do that?
The cat is typically not very cooperative.
(at least that is what I have heard...)
27-year-old male, allegedly inspired by al-qaeda. Citizenship unknown.
Ap says from Mnahatten? all pending this announcement...too many sources not enough confirmation....says its an American.
Was caught yesturday.
Jose was his first name, any guess?
