AQH Al-Qaeda Homeland Claims Responsibility For Recruiting Station Bombing

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Security camera footage shows a person approach a Times Square military recruiting office and ride away on a bicycle shortly before a bomb damaged the building Thursday morning.


Security video shows a bicyclist approach a Times Square recruiting station moments before a bomb went off.

1 of 3 Authorities consider the bicyclist the chief suspect in the bombing, which occurred about 3:45 a.m. and caused no injuries.

The video, shown by Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, shows the person approach the station on the bicycle, get off and walk up a metal ramp to the door. After about a minute the person returns to the bike and rides away.

Less than two minutes later a bright flash and a cloud of white smoke signal the explosion.

A witness and an officer at a police substation just steps away from the recruiting office saw a man riding a bicycle, Kelly said. They did not see the man's face, but he was wearing a backpack, Kelly said.

A bicycle was later found in a trash bin not far from the scene, he said.

1. I'm a little behind times today--would somebody please tell me where this
al-qaeda homeland thing came from? or is this just a sarcastic take-off on al-qaeda in iraq?

2. black ops
I didn't know the details of this--now that I do, it's obviously a plant by the GOP to instill fear in folks. Watch for a flurry of "Obama is a Muslim and Clinton is a terrorist lover" emails soon.

5. If this is the best they can do, we may actually be winning the WOT
Two high school kids with a chemistry set could have done more damage.
