Investigators say they're looking at the victim of Sunday's car bombing in Brooklyn as the prime suspect.
Police officials tell NY1 that Israel Halberstam, whose leg was severed in the blast, may have built the bomb himself as part of an ongoing disagreement over money. Investigators say the device exploded by mistake as he was entering his minivan outside his home in Borough Park Sunday morning.
The sources say a search of Halberstam's house turned up bomb-making materials.
Several weeks ago, another van Halberstam rented was set on fire and destroyed. Investigators are also looking into whether Halberstam torched the van himself, possibly to make himself look like a victim.
Halberstam, 46, is still hospitalized in critical condition.
The blast had originally stoked fears in the surrounding Orthodox Jewish neighborhood about terrorism possibly related to the violence in the Middle East, though authorities had been quick to say there was no evidence to indicate that.
