Before today, there wasn't any indication that police would ever find the person who set off a bomb at the Times Square Military Recruitment Office back in March 2008. But now the The Times reports that a grand jury is meeting to investigate the case, and it is interviewing a student from the New School (whose lawyer says he is a witness and not a target of the investigation).

Early yesterday morning, a person riding a bicycle was caught on surveillance video throwing a brick at a window of the Greek Consulate—and spray painting on the East 79th Street building. And police are investigating whether this incident is linked to the bombings outside the British and Mexican consulates, as well as outside the Times Square recruiting booth.

British newspaper The Telegraph reports that 10 "alleged members of a violent anarchist movement" were arrested by French anti-terrorist police. The leader of the movement, which is suspected of sabotaging the high speed TGV train lines' cables, and his girlfriend are linked by the FBI to the Times Square bombing this past March. The couple allegedly "were carrying anarchist texts in English and photos of an army recruitment centre in New York." And: "Although they had left the US before the bomb attack, they had allegedly been spotted shortly before at American anarchist meetings in New York." Dun dun DUN! [Via the Post]
