Holy cow - what happened to FR?
I had trouble finding this thread! :-(
And what is RSS? Was so glad there wasn’t RSS here previously. I’ve seen it everywhere and never clicked on it, for fear that it would re-set something.
Is there any scoop on the NY bomber? Been itching to get to the computer today to find out.
Hi Velveeta.
FR has undergone some modernization changes.

“Although police stopped short of tying the bicycle bomber to the two earlier blasts, there were similarities: All three occurred between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. and a suspect on a bicycle was spotted in each incident.
“In layman’s view . . . the explosions are roughly similar,” said Kelly, who called the bomb “an unsophisticated device.”
Hollowed-out grenades - filled with black powder and a fuse - were used in the March 2005 attack on the British Consulate and last October’s blast at the Mexican Consulate, police said. Portions of the Times Square device were sent to the FBI in Quantico, Va., for comparison to the grenades from the earlier blasts, police said.
A top and a side panel from the green metal box used to hold the explosives were recovered Thursday. The container can be purchased readily at Army-Navy stores or on the Internet.
In the latest bombing, the nation’s busiest recruiting station suffered shattered windows and twisted metal.
“I heard a boom,” said Sandy Aris, 41, a parking attendant at a 43rd St. garage. “Everything in my booth moved.”
A source said that authorities were checking whether the bombing was possibly linked to an incident last month along the Canadian border. Four men stopped there were found to be carrying information, photos and maps of recruiting stations in New York City, including the one in Times Square. Two of the men bolted but left behind a backpack with the material.”
