Obama vows to do whatever necessary to find NY bomber

US President Barack Obama has said that his administration will do whatever necessary to find those responsible for the failed terrorist attempt to blow up a car bomb at the Times Square in New York on Saturday. Obama said he spoke to New York Mayor Michele Bloomberg to make sure that State and federal officials are coordinating effectively. The President said, he is going to continue to monitor the situation closely and do what it takes at home and abroad to safeguard the security of the American people. The New York Police said yesterday that they were reviewing surveillance video that may have captured a suspect in Saturday's failed car bombing in Times Square. The suspect was described as a white man in his 40s who repeatedly looked back at the rigged SUV in a furtive manner and exhibited other suspicious behaviour. A major crisis was averted in New York, when police removed bomb-making materials from a parked sports utility vehicle in Times Square, including propane tanks and a clock suspected to be a timing device. Police said a Nissan Pathfinder at West 45th Street and Seventh Avenue was loaded with a bomb made of electrical components, three propane gas tanks and two additional gas canisters. Earlier, the Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano on a Sunday Talk Show said there is a possibility that this is related to terrorism.
