Bomb At Times Square Recruiting Station

Bill Ayers is in the news again and a bomb goes off at the Times Square Recruiting Station:

A small explosive device damaged a landmark military recruiting station in Times Square before dawn today, prompting a huge police response that disrupted transit at the “crossroads of the world.”

The explosive device caused minor damage, and no one was injured when the explosive went off about 3:45 a.m., police said. The explosion shattered a glass entryway.

Members of the police department’s bomb squad and fire officials gathered outside the recruiting station, which has occasionally been the site of anti-war demonstrations, ranging from silent vigils to loud rallies.

Witnesses staying at a hotel in the area said they heard a “big bang” and could feel the building shake. A large plume of smoke was also visible after the explosion, they said.
