Not even close to MS 13, but having been the mistaken victim of a firebombing at the hands of a latino gang, I can tell you their gang culture was thoroughly embarrassed they got the wrong house and failed. Had this bomb succeeded, I guarantee you the Taliban would not have been the first to say it was theirs.
I'm betting on MS 13.
I don’t put much stock in claims made by terrorists. Palestinians get into fights over claiming responsibility for attacks.
One thing we can be sure of is that there is a protected class involved. Some 8000 cameras on times square and we don’t know anything yet.
“I’m betting on MS 13. “
You may not be far off in that reasoning...perhaps not this NY incident, but they’re finding IED’s in Mexico. It’s just a matter of time until they get here.
MS 13 is joining up with the Zetas, the last we heard.
Mexican Cartels Using IEDs

[snip]AUSTIN - The Mexican military seized improvised explosive devices just miles from the Valley. The IEDs (or roadside bombs) are the same weapons terrorists use in the Middle East.
The homemade explosives can be sophisticated or crude. They’re often deadly. They’ve killed troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
CHANNEL 5 NEWS learned the weapons are also in the hands of the drug cartels in Mexico.
On March 30, more than 50 cartel members attacked the Mexican military in Matamoros and Reynosa. Eighteen people died.
Soldiers seized 50 rifles, 60 hand grenades, and eight IEDs.
This statement from Pakistan was PRERECORDED BEFORE the bomb was planted. They did not expect it to fail.
MS 13 has a big presence here in Nassau County. Nowhere near as big in NYC. This bomb makes no sense for MS13. They’re in the biz of making illegal money through drugs, They target their rival gangs like the Bloods or Crips or latin Kings. Planting a bomb on 45th Street does nothing for the gang. The fact tht the propane/gasoline combo has been used in the UK on several occasions by jihadists gives cred to this Tally tape. Also the fact that it was prerecorded would give the speakers prior knowledge of an event that hadn’t yet ocurred.
