The NYPD released surveillance footage of this morning's explosion near the Army recruiting center in Times Square. The footage shows a bicyclist approaching the building and an explosion taking place after he leaves.
The bicyclist is of interest because a witness told the police he/she saw a bicyclist acting suspiciously. Earlier today, Police Commissioner Kelly said, "The individual (on the bicycle) was wearing a hood and dark colored clothing, also carrying a backpack. He did not see the individual’s face." He added the small bomb, described as an improvised explosive device, placed in an ammunition box, was "not a particularly sophisticated device" but could have killed someone (luckily no one was injured during the 3:45 a.m. incident) and said, "Times Square is the crossroads of the world, and we are concerned."
The police found "a 10-speed bike in the trash on West 38th Street." The NYPD is being joined by the FBI in the investigation.

Petebfd, you're wrong. It was Bubba Gump, in Toys'R Us, with a prostitute.
What the hell is this world coming to?
poser.
Not his MO. But I think Hamburglar.
damn cyclists.
Instead of talking about this news item, most of you are just begging for attention. Nice.
Angry pickle. You the same way. The difference is that we all knew that there would be an update. So we were going to waste our comments on this one.
well that settles it..i'm not riding my bike OR wearing my backpack tomorrow.
@ angry pickle
there's actually a lengthy discussion in the comments of the original post: http://gothamist.com/2008/03/06/times_square_ex.php#comments
this update is silly and pointless. so it rightfully gets silly, pointless comments
It's clearly an anti-establishment hipster. This morning's NY Times article is pointing out simliarities in terms of time that the past 3 minor bombings have had. All were around the same time, 3:40AM-ish.
