Today a 27yearold would be suicide bomber who appears to have affixed some kind of home made explosive device to his torso. He was apparently trying to blow up the pedestrian passage way. He ended up injuring himself. Three other people were injured, although, new york police are describing those thankfully as minor injuries. And new yorkers
