NYPD: Video Has Possible SUV Bomb Suspect In Alley

By TOM HAYS and DEEPTI HAJELA

NEW YORK – Police investigating a terror attack that could have set off a deadly fireball in Times Square focused Sunday on finding a man who was videotaped shedding his shirt near the SUV where the bomb was found. They also were trying to determine whether more than 100 pounds of a fertilizer-like substance in the vehicle could have made the crude device even more devastating.

The video shows an unidentified white man in his 40s slipping down an alley, taking off one shirt and revealing another underneath. In the same clip, he's seen looking back in the direction of the smoking vehicle and furtively putting the first shirt in a bag, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.

The homemade bomb was made largely with ordinary items including three barbecue grill-sized propane tanks, two 5-gallon gasoline containers, store-bought fireworks and cheap alarm clocks attached to wires. If successfully detonated, police said at a minimum it would have sprayed shrapnel and metal parts over one of America's busiest streets, full of Broadway theaters and restaurants, on a Saturday night. "The intent of whoever did this to cause mayhem, create casualties," Kelly said.

Why the hell don't they run the tape...The guy might be able to plan his moves in front of all the surveillance stuff...but there are people around, too.

Anyways, unless this guy is on his way to the Bahamas...they're gonna make him.

Define “white”. (An Arab would never be classified as “African” or “Asian”...)

There are Arabs who are pale, they’re preferred in “suicide missions” because of their appearance.

Must be a Tea Partier.

Jihadis can’t ever possibly be white.

Well, except for these guys: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,535085,00.html

And other home growns.

And muslims from places like Bosnia.

And muslims who don’t look especially Arab.

Or maybe the cops know things we don’t.

But it couldn’t hurt for them to lock up Bill Ayers, just to be safe.

Let’s see the damn tape. Play it on FOX News over and over again. Surely, someone out there would recognize him.

Muslim convert. Got cold feet and wasn’t too keen on getting his 70 something virgins without guarantees of Viagra in the afterlife.

Sometimes Law enforcement is dumb. They like to catch the guy by themselves. I suppose they figure the v ideo might spook the guy...or the forensics is already panning out.

It’s smarter not to. It’s not a kidnapping case. Releasing the tape just gives information away that the public doesn’t need right now.

They aren’t seeking the public’s help in finding this guy, nor would that be wise.

“Surely, someone out there would recognize him.”

Maybe that’s what they’re afraid of.

Libtards really think if they aren’t members of Al Qaeda Local 1546 & carrying their Al Qaeda i.d. cards, it’s not a serious attack.

The MSM thinks al qaeda is a country with a flag & national anthem.

The fact that the Pakistani AQ tape was made on April 30th makes it pretty likely to be AQ regardless of whether the guy is white or not.

I was skeptical about the AQ claim at first but the fact that it was made right before the attempted bombing seems to point in their direction.

They don’t want to release the tape because it might turn out the fool was a patsy for the US government.
