Parking Spot Proves Times Square Suspect No Lone Wolf
by Scott Ott for ScrappleFace ·
(2010-05-04) Although Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano had initially said she had no evidence to indicate the attempted Times Square bombing was anything other than a one-off event, an unnamed Homeland official today contradicted that assessment based on one compelling piece of evidence.
We knew that we were dealing with a coordinated attack, involving perhaps dozens of co-conspirators and robust technological capabilities, the anonymous source said, And we knew he wasnt a lone wolf based on a single fact: the driver of the bomb-filled SUV actually found a parking space in Times Square.
While officials called the bomb itself crude and amateurish, they now privately acknowledge that the preparation, advanced espionage and meticulous orchestration of events required to insert a Sport Utility Vehicle into a curbside parking space anywhere in New York City reflects a high-level of intellectual and technical sophistication.
You dont just drive into New York and park your car, the source said. Without a real-time satellite video feed and agents on the ground in constant communication with the driver, that kind of operation can take hours on a good day. Even with all of those resources, the perps still had to count on a certain degree of luck.
Workers.org is the website of the Workers World Party. A real sick bunch. They supported the Tiananmen Square Massacre, Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong Il, his father, and Stalin. They are also the ones who started up the "peace" group ANSWER.
