She tells NBC’S “Meet the Press” that officials are treating the incident as a potential terrorist attack. She says it’s too soon to tell who’s responsible.
Napolitano says that while investigators have no suspects, they have recovered forensic evidence, including fingerprints from the vehicle.
She also says there are a number of surveillance cameras in the area and they could yield valuable videotape.

And they want to bring the terror trials to NY???
How do they feel now about letting all these responsable free just like they tell Israel. Get a taste of what terrorists do
wow! as we all well know, the last line of defence is at the intended terror site. (the bomb should never get to the final destination). here we are congratulating for What? a bomb that at the mercy of the bomber, or sheer luck that it didn’t work? that in my opinion is nothing to celebrate, no claim of success shall be made in this story. I’m starting to miss bush when this was a main part of his line of defence. we can’t just be happy that this time we were lucky.
Chasdei Hashem! HKBH should only cntinue to thwart these monsters!
“officials are treating the incident as a potential terrorist attack”
Why only potential?
To all the libs -who posted here during the presidential elections that all us right wingers are wrong- saying -Bush was horrible, there won’t be any more attacks on US soil, Obama will make a great Pres., there is nothing to worry about, etc…
Just for my curiosity, what are you telling yourselves now? One thing I know, maybe Mr. Bush wasn’t the best President we ever had, but his claim that he protected us against terror since 2001, was 100% accurate!
It seems clear that it was only by a miracle (“pure luck,” someone said in a prior post) that this terrorist bomb, in the process of detonating, did not fully detonate.
The goal of Moslem terrorists was / is to instill fear in the infidels and further their cause of creating a fascist-like theocracy worldwide.
(It is not certain who perpetrated this and it very well may turn out to be a non-Moslem group–but I’d personally be very surprised if that happened.)
All of us who live in target areas will have to change our lifestyles and security similar to that in place in Israel will have to be considered.
Let’s realize that terrorists aim to kill the innocent–men, women, and children–to achieve their nefarious goals.
Also, we should reassess our lifestyles. Do we hug our loved ones enough? Are we living the type of ethical lifestyle to which we supposedly aspire? What are our goals? Are they just aggrandizement? What ‘answers’ do we have to such hatred?
And the list goes on. One thing is for certain, and that is that change is needed.
“Potential NY Terrorist Attack Averted” potential, averted? This was a terrorist attack and it was not averted. While it may have not done what the bombers have intended, it was not averted and did instill fear, a primary goal.
Its only a matter of time G-d forbid, when the US Homeland security spends millions on a raid in dinky little town in Iowa, you know they have their priorities wrong and will miss real targets that are dangerous to the US. Unfortunately.
