Police in New York foiled an attempted car bomb attack in the heart of Times Square thanks to a T-shirt vendor who saw smoke coming from the explosives laden vehicle, officials said Sunday.

Bomb squad officers discovered propane gas tanks, fireworks and timing devices loaded into the back of the sports utility vehicle after the T-shirt seller alerted authorities around 6:30 pm (2230 GMT) on Saturday.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility although the state governor said it was the work of terrorists.

"We are very lucky ... (to) avoid what could have been a very deadly event," the city's Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at an impromptu press conference early Sunday.

"The bomb squad confirmed that the suspicious vehicle indeed did contain an explosive device."

Bloomberg also said the bomb was homemade and "looked amateurish" but "certainly could have exploded."

Well, as it said, it looked like an amateur job. Probably not someone they'd have suspected and/or had an eye on.

Yeh I saw, just mocking it while I can :D

Good job on the NYPD's part! :thup:
