Business as usual in Times Square as search for bomber continues

By SPA

New York : Police believe they may have found the bicycle that carried a hooded, solitary bomber to a high-profile target: a military recruiting center at the heart of Times Square, AP reported.

But they have yet to close in on a suspect in Thursday’s pre-dawn attack, which damaged the landmark recruiting station but hurt no one.

As Times Square returned to business as usual Friday, police released a photo of the bicycle, looked at dozens of security videotapes and scoured Times Square for possible witnesses.

We’re doing the normal investigative steps that you would expect in a case like this, New York Police Department Commissioner Raymond Kelly told CNN.

Witnesses to the explosion described seeing a hooded man on a bike acting suspiciously.

The bomb, contained in a metal ammunition box, produced a sudden flash and a billowing cloud of white smoke, prompting a full-scale emergency response.
