News: Explosive devices found in SUV, Times Square Evacuated



Last night a t shirt vendor saw smoke coming from a suspicious Nissan Pathfinder on 45th street between 7th and 8th avenue and alerted a foot patrol officer. Authorites found “Bomb making material” including propane cylinders, fireworks and timing devices in the SUV. Tourists were cleared from the area and the explosive device was dismantled.

According to CNN:

The FBI was on the scene as part of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, with a spokesman telling CNN the agency was taking the situation “very seriously” and that the situation was still being sorted out. The Department of Homeland Security said it was monitoring the developments. President Obama, who was updated on the situation late Saturday night, said the federal government was prepared to provide support.
