New York City is swarming with tourists, foreign and native-born as well as illegal aliens. The visitors filled restaurants and hotels. They flock to the city's many attractions such as the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. Last night the Crossroads of the World was cordoned off by police after a street vendor spotted a white man desert his SUV. The man hurried away from the vehicle and a series of pops and fizzles issued from the car in rapid succession.
"That's when the smoke started coming out and then we heard the little pop, pop, pop - like firecrackers going out and that's when everybody scattered and ran back." said the vendor to the Press.
The crowds had fled the street with good reason, as the police discovered that the Nissan Pathfinder was packed with an "amateurish" explosive device of propane tanks, fireworks, petrol and a clock device. The NYC police commissioner quickly denied any connection to the Taliban or Al-Quada. No further comment will be forthcoming until the investigators survey the footage from the scores of CCTV cameras positioned around Times Square, although Fox News spared from reservations about announcing that the bomb had been planted by the Pakistani Taliban in revenge for the death of a leader.
Other suspects included white power extremists.
I favor that hypothesis or a disgruntled post office worker before Muslim terrorists, but then I'm prejudiced toward our home-grown militants.
And it don't matter, because no New Yorker was scared of a little bomb, because we have already seen the big one on 9/11. More tourists were in Times Square this afternoon to see the spot where the SUV was illegally parked without getting a violation.
We're # 1.
