government is on high alert for car bombs at airports along the east coast, a direct fallout from that attempted car bombing last night in new york s crowded times square. inside a smoking suv parked idling in front of a broadway theater, investigators say were enough explosive materials to create a huge fireball and many casualties. the mayor of new york city is hopeful tonight that surveillance video, one which shows a white male changing clothes as he left the scene, will lead to an arrest. i m confident that we will find out who did it. there s the commissioner police commissioner said earlier in the day, there is no evidence that this is tied in with al qaeda or any other big terrorist organization, but rest assured, we ll do everything we can. we have all of the resources from the federal government, thanks to the president and secretary napolitano and the fbi. investigators are already pursuing multiple leads, including a link to this connecticut junkyard.
brooklyn, williamsburg, the battery tunnel, the holland tunnel, the lincoln tunnel, the g.w. bridge. you also have the hudson river bridge, which is up on the upper west side, the henry hudson parkway that separates the most northern part of manhattan on the west side from the bronx. i think they need to go back there and just methodically look and see how this vehicle was introduced into the borough with the hope or expectation that the operator of the vehicle could be identified as well through these tapes. you say that there is one link here, something that keeps coming up that has caught your attention with this vehicle. what is that? well, you know, don, i find it rather curious that somehow a license plate made its way off the front or back of a vehicle in the state of connecticut behind a locked and gated auto body facility, whether it s a junkyard or, you know, a repair facility, it s academic. you know, i think that there s
as the commissioner, police commissioner said earlier in the day there is no evidence that this is tied in with al qaeda or any other big terrorist organization. but rest assured we ll do everything we can. we have all of the resources from the federal government, thanks to the president and secretary napolitano, and the fbi. investigators are already pursuing multiple leads including a link to this connecticut junkyard. all of the very latest developments in this case, plus all the day s other stories coming up over the next hour. we have a team of correspondents covering the latest terror threat against the u.s. our. our susan candiotti in times square. dan lothian and drew griffin in new york city. the first two heroes who probably saved a number of lives. a new york city mounted police officer, the other a t-shirt vendor who tipped off that officer. so far he s been a man of few words but offering some advice. do you feel good that you
running, we could see the license plate. the police, obviously, knew, tracked down that license plate to a ford f-150 that was supposedly being repaired in a car lot out in connecticut, in stratford, connecticut. i went there today, no signs of life. it really looked like a junkyard, but what police are telling us, what law enforcement sources are telling us is that plate was removed from that f-150 and placed on this nissan pathfind pathfinder, potentially a deliberate attempt to mask who was registered to this vehicle as it drove into manhattan. so that s one of the clues they re working on. and, of course, you had susan candiotti reporting earlier tonight that the vin numbers, that vehicle registration number, that is actually physically on the car, is registered in the tristate area. they know who the car belongs to, but they re keeping quiet on exactly who that person is right now. so, drew, by all accounts, everyone is saying, oh, the new
mouth of the mississippi. also, the connecticut connection to the times square car bomb plot. what investigators found and how it may lead police to the suspect behind that attack. and torrential downpours turn two major cities into death traps. don t just sit there tonight, become part of our conversation. make sure you log on to the social networking sites. to the seekers of things which are one of a kind. the authentic, the rare, the hard to define. to those who d climb mountains or sail across seas. for the perfect vanilla or honey from bees. to the lovers of orchards where simple is grown, who treat every bite as a world of its own. to those always searching for what s pure and what s real. from we who believe. we know just how you feel. communities. industry. energy. her. this. lives. how ?
