what what what?!?!?! are they suspecting terrorism?

Where are you seeing this? I have MSNBC on and there's nothing!

Hi dgtempe. I just saw this pop up on Foxnews breaking newsline on the website. I am just waiting for more info. Worried...

This is all they have added that is new:

Cars and police tape blocked cars early Thursday from entering the area, one of the most famous locations in the world.

All subways in the vicinity are being diverted.

Tentative report in the NYTimes;

NEW YORK (AP) -- New York City police have cordoned off a section of Times Square, investigating what has been described by witnesses as a small explosion.

Members of the police department's bomb squad and the Fire Department of New York are in the area surrounding a military recruiting station that has a giant blast through the front window.

Police could not confirm that an explosive device was set off in the area.

that just came out from wnbc theres only two news results i got for it and then the fox one. the AP said a witness described it as a small explosion.

CNN is reporting this as well.

Whatever it was, I hope there were no serious injuries.

I think this happened a couple other times last year at that same recruiting station.

Maybe they should put a patriot missle battery to deter the culprits.

I have CNN on now waiting for them to say something.

I expect the masses are going to riot sooner or later, i'm afraid. These are signals being sent that a change must come about.

People are sick of everything and some out there are going to start taking matters into their own hands.

actually before that happens there going to crack down hard on dissidents. like FEMA martial nightmare crackdown.

Now they're saying its possible TERRORISM.

This is going to be an exciting day.

I wonder WHO the terrorists are? The conspiracies never end.

Happened at 3:45 this morning.

Terrorism? Ive not heard that and to be honest, from the reports I've seen that is ridiculous. Apparently a man on a bike threw a small explosive device at the building and rode off...that doent sound like terrorism to me.

I think some of us are over reacting here. It's really not a big story.

I don't think this has much to do with Al Qaeda or the revolutionary masses.

Probably just some bored ex-hippie with M80's looking to bring down the mighty U.S government on his Huffy mountain bike.

Word is they might have found another unexploded device, that's never good. Hope no one got hurt and this is isolated.

If it happened that early in the morning, I have doubts it would be terrorism in the foreign threat sense.

If it was someone like AQ, they would want lots of people around for full effect.

Could just be another gas leak... they seem to be popular lately.

Tell it to CNN, they're the ones who mentioned it.

Those are not my feelings at all- in fact i think of black ops at times like these, if you want to know the truth.

Fox is reporting a guy on a bike threw it into the door of the recruitment officer and they found another. Terrorism? Nope. Crazy guy? Yup.
