Wow, you're fast. CNN is just now airing it live as "Just In".
It being a Mercedes on Park Avenue soesn't seem suspicious, so I guess just the bag next to it is?

haha - my friend is working over there - they made an announcement and she was the first to go.

We can only hope this isn't anything!

haha, why would someone leave there bomb in a car. bombs are made to explode. and in a expensive car to boot

Lol... police say it seemed weighed down, that there was blood on the window...

But, the police say there is nothing suspicious...

Car bombs my friend - terrorists love them - expensive cars may be more of a diversion, less obvious. They set them to go off when they want.

I'm sure when it comes to killing people, bombers don't care what car their bomb is in. Just look at the insane amounts of car bombs in the past.

It looks like the all clear has been sounded. I'm still kind of curious about the blood found on it. Why did it appear weighed down?

what? have you been living under a rock.

To create fear and panic in america. to invoke Terror in peoples everyday lives.
A bomb in a car, outside someones work in a busy city. it could be any car, any city. your city. the car you just walked past could suddenly explode. That is the fear that people try to create. that is the pupose of terrorism

The speed of news delivery here is absolutely amazing! Thanks tonypazzo.

The link posted by freetree64 says "All clear" but mentions they are still examining. Didn't mention anything about the trunk and the picture doesn't show it open.

camaro68ss, a Mercedes in that area fits in a lot better than a junker car sitting there all day.
