Manhattan, NY – Manhattan, NY – There is no proof to back a claim by a Pakistani Taliban group that it was responsible for a car bomb attempt in New York’s Times Square, city police chief Raymond Kelly said Sunday.

“Although a Taliban bomb maker has claimed on the Internet… we have no evidence to support this claim,” Kelly told journalists the day after the failed bomb was found.
An Internet video purportedly from the Tarik-e-Taliban group claimed responsibility, the US monitoring service SITE said.
Posted on YouTube, the video said the attempted bombing was to avenge the recent killing of two top Al-Qaeda leaders in Iraq and US drone strikes in Pakistan, SITE said.
Had I been taliban I would’ve shut up about this failed pathetic car bomb out of embarrassment
no need to verify just go after those animals.
You should add this on to the article from last night about the risk of terrorism!! what did obama say about this? is it only “random acts”
Obama,, you just continue living in your lala wonderland, I wonder what it will take to wake you up.may g-d protect us all from the hands of our enemy’s.
They’re so inept they’ll take responsibility for failing. Way to go! Don’t change a thing.
Qari Hussain Mehsud, the top bomb maker for the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, said he takes “fully responsibility for the recent attack in the USA.” Qari Hussain made the claim on an audiotape accompanied by images that was released on a YouTube website that calls itself the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan News Channel.
The tape has yet to be verified, but US intelligence officials believe it is legitimate. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan News Channel on YouTube was created on April 30. Officials believe it was created to announce the Times Square attack, and Qari Hussain’s statement was pre-recorded.
#4 you are so right.
we are of gehakte tzuris . all he knows how to do is go after the businessmen on wall street.
he doesnt know how to protect our country
he doesnt know how to deal with the oil spill
he knows how to fly around on taxpayer money.
save wall street before they move out and we lose their $$ too.
then we will be a welfare state instead of the greatest state.
even bloomberg knows that .
he is a businessman and knows we need wall streets money to survive
I am glad WE were more matzliach than THEY were!!!
Based on the ineptness of our current administration, was thi a random act of violence which is part of the overseas contingency plan???
What shlamzels they are. I assumed that some nut did it, not the mortal enemy of the American people.
They did everything right, Hashem said I will not allow this to happen, in honor of Reb Shimon Bar Yoichai the bomb did not explode! Thank you Hashem for looking after your people, please continue to look out after us!
Is everyone forgetting that the people who left the car bomb are still at large??? Why isn’t there an elevated alert?
Of course it couldn’t have been the peace-loving Muslims. It mustve been extreeeeemists.
