NEW YORK – Police investigating the failed car bomb left in Times Square have videotape of a possible suspect shedding clothing in an alley and putting it in a bag and found a substance that resembled fertilizer in the parked SUV, Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Sunday.
Kelly said officers were on the way to a Pennsylvania town to talk to a tourist who might have recorded the suspect on his video camera. The video shows a white man in his 40s taking off one shirt, revealing another underneath.
The commissioner said th
The commissioner said there's no evidence that a Pakistani
Taliban videotaped claim to the failed car bombing is valid.

The feds have a composite sketch of the suspect:
I am guessing the propane tanks will trace back to a small business called Strickland Propane..

It would appear the "Taliban" claim is false. The person of interest is a middle aged white male.
Not to give you a hard time or anything ma'am, but isn't that statement bordering on racial profiling?
"If he's taliban, he isn't white"
"If he's an illegal immigrant, it means he's mexican"
I'm not saying that you said the latter, I'm just saying that that kind of mindset seems to be running rampant these days.
There are ALOT of disinfranchised people that are pissed off at America right now, they are white,and they live HERE.They are ripe for the pickin' for these fringe groups like the taliban, because most people are like you and assume that if a person is white, they can't belong to a radical group from the middle east.
All I'm saying is, don't be so quick to judge.
Peace

The would-be car-bomber who left an SUV loaded with propane and gas cans, fireworks and timing devices on a Times Square street also had more than 100 pounds of fertilizer, but not the kind that would explode, police said today.
Police examine security footage of a man removing his shirt in Times Square.
Instead of ammonium nitrate, the kind of fertilizer used by Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, the person who abandoned the van on the crowded New York City street had a metal gun locker full of a harmless fertilizer, New York City Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said.
While it is unknown who the potential bomber is, or the bomber's motive, officials told ABC, that if that person were not aware of the characteristics of the fertilizer it could point to the fact that the bomber did not know what he was doing.
