NEW YORK — Police found a car bomb in a parked sport utility vehicle Saturday evening in New York City's Times Square, then evacuated buildings and cleared thousands of tourists from the landmark.“
It appears to be a car bomb left in a Pathfinder between Seventh and Eighth,” said Deputy Commissioner Paul J. Browne, the Police Department’s chief spokesman. The device, he said, contained “explosive elements” that included “propane tanks, some kind of powder, gasoline and a timing device.”Police now believe a catastrophe was averted by technical failure of the explosive device.
The White House said Sunday that President Barack Obama was being kept up to date on the investigation into the apparent car bomb found in New York City's Times Square.White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said in a statement that Obama, who attended an annual gala dinner Saturday night for White House news correspondents, praised the quick and effective response by the New York Police Department.
'We avoided what could have been a very deadly event.' New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at a news conference early on Sunday, "we are very lucky, thanks to alert New Yorkers and professional police officers. We avoided what could have been a very deadly event." The mayor went on to say a suspicious vehicle in Times Square "did indeed contain an explosive device.".
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said at the same news conference the car contained three propane tanks, consumer-grade fireworks, two filled 5-gallon (19-liter) gasoline containers, and two clocks with batteries, electrical wire and other components. He said a black metal box resembling a gun locker was also recovered.Police were investigating a report that someone was seen running from the vehicle, a Nissan Pathfinder, at some point and were reviewing security videotapes, a police spokesman said.

NOW....LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT....I thought that if we talked nicely to them, removed such vitriolic words such as "terrorism," "radical Islamist," or "really bad guys" from our lexicon,these people would play nice with us. What happened to that?
When is our leadership going to wake up and realize that radical Islam hates us because WE ARE NOT AN ISLAMIC REPUBLIC? The real question should be....WILL we wake up and realize the above? This president is bent on talking or spending all problems to death. The result will be the death of Israelis and Americans.
On a better note: Israel has a friend. This week, the President of Colombia sent a letter to Benjamin Netanyahu expressing his countries firm and lasting friendship with Israel. Colombia is a country plagued by radical terrorists. It has also been diplomatically slapped repeatedly since Barrack Obama's regime took control of the US government. I truly believe Colombia will reap a blessing that the United States is throwing away!
