The device, which failed to detonate, was left near the offices of Viacom, which owns the irreverent cartoon series.
Last month postings on an Islamic website warned the creators of South Park - Matt Stone and Trey Parker - that they could face violent reprisals after an episode of the show featured Muhammad in a bear suit

If this was true, then the criminal(s) is one dumb mass of meat as Comedy Central's NYC office is 10 blocks or so away from where the car was actually left. That would have sent a much better message regarding religious extemism compared to parking in front of the Lion King. Also, I highly doubt any Islamic connection to this since it wasn't a suicide bomber but instead a coward. Probably it'll end up as a lone "nut" rallying against capitalist America, as it was May Day, leading to new regulations on the purchase of fireworks or alarm clocks (not sure which one is more likely).

A top Pakistani Taliban commander took credit for yesterday's failed car bomb attack in New York City.
Qari Hussain Mehsud, the top bomb maker for the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, said he takes "fully responsibility for the recent attack in the USA." Qari Hussain made the claim on an audiotape accompanied by images that was released on a YouTube website that calls itself the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan News Channel.
The tape has yet to be verified, but US intelligence officials contacted by The Long War Journal believe it is legitimate. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan News Channel on YouTube was created on April 30. Officials believe it was created to announce the Times Square attack, and Qari Hussain’s statement was pre-recorded.

"This attack is a revenge for the great & valuable martyred leaders of mujahideen," Qari Hussain said. He listed Baitullah Mehsud, the former leader of the Pakistani Taliban who was killed in a Predator strike in August 2009, and Abu Omar al Baghdadi, the former leader of al Qaeda Islamic State of Iraq who was killed by Iraqi forces in mid-April. And although he was not mentioned, an image of Abu Ayyub al Masri, the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, was also displayed in the images accompanying the audiotape.
Qari Hussain also said the failed attack was "revenge for the Global American interference & terrorism in Muslim countries, especially in Pakistan for Lal Masjid operation," a reference to the July 2008 Pakistani military assault on Islamists holed up in the Red Mosque in Islamabad, as well as Predator strikes in Pakistan's tribal areas and the arrest and detention of Pakistani scientist Aifa Siddique.

Police currently do not have a suspect. The license plate is not registered to the Nissan, and the vehicle identification number has been removed. Police are also looking at video from surrounding stores to see if they can determine anything about the identity of the bomber.
or just was wearing a burka.... anyone can hide under the islamic cloak and be free to walk about unchallenged by the police....its fking nuts...

I wont be surprised if the culprit just conveniently happened to get by all the cameras unnoticed, or jumped in a sewer or another kind of explanation as to why he wont be caught.
Then again, maybe someone will be caught and get blamed for it, after that you can expect more "security over freedom"-type of stuff.
Hopefully, I'm wrong.
