New York – The failed car bombing in Times Square increasingly appears to have been coordinated by several people in a plot with international links, Obama administration officials said Tuesday.

The disclosure, while tentative, came as the White House intensified its focus on the Saturday incident in New York City, in which explosives inside a Nissan Pathfinder were set ablaze but failed to detonate at the tourist-crowded corner of Broadway Avenue and 45th Street.
Emerging from a series of briefings, several officials said it was premature to rule out any motive, but said the sweeping, multi-state investigation was turning up new clues.
Separately, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs also characterized the incident for the first time as an attempted act of terrorism. “I would say that was intended to terrorize, and I would say that whomever did that would be categorized as a terrorist,” Gibbs said, sharpening the administration’s tone.
Another U.S. official, recounting a conversation with intelligence officials, said, “Don’t be surprised if you find a foreign nexus . . . They’re looking at some tell-tale signs and they’re saying it’s pointing in that direction.”
Officials cautioned that even if the investigation points toward an international link, rather than domestic or anti-government groups, that does not mean al-Qaeda or another terrorist organizations is necessarily involved.

Robert Gibbs – “I would say that was intended to terrorize, and I would say that whoever did that would be categorized as a terrorist,”
and this means that the Obama administration will deal with it the same way they do with all other terrorists
anyone chap how amazing it is that it didnt happen on any other weekday when yidden could have been in manhattan….?
Obama knows who it is, Rahm Emanuel knows who it is, David Axelrod knows who it is and Hillary knows who it is.Political Correctness barrs them from speaking what they know is the sad and dangerous truth. From the day that fool went to Cairo and made his “mea culpa” speech , he was pigeonholed as a weak leader that would not retaliate. In the face continues attacks on US citizens here and abroad ,he has signaled one sign of weakness after another. Nobody on this planet fears him, or has an iota of respect for him . Our enemies are being emboldened and our allies are keeping us at arms length. Let’s hope we can survive the next 2 years with these bumbling fools. G-d help us if he wins a second term.
Has anyone noticed that there have been a number of terror attacks under the current attacks. Luckily ” The One Above” has saved us from the horrors. But there have definitely been more attempts under this administration.
I say, open the borders, don’t call them terrorsit attacks, no such thing as muslim extremists, make nice to the arab nations, close guantanamo, and we’ll hold hands and sing songs together…..
We have no one to rely on but our Father in Heaven.
Must be the same person who took the 5 toras an failed, the same here he failed.
