I.E.D Detonated Outside Recruiting Center In NY Times Square

A small IED blew up outside the military recruiting center in Times Square. It's probably one anti-war nutjob who spent many hours online trying to figure out how to build a crappy bomb and thought it would be awesome to do this; yet now hides in his parent's basement scared to death he's going to prison.

A small explosion caused minor damage to a U.S. military recruiting center in New York's Times Square area in the early hours of Thursday but there were no injuries, police said.

Police said an improvised explosive device caused minor damage to the building around 3:45 a.m. (0845 GMT). The thick glass door was cracked and the lower part of its metal frame was twisted. The blast also shattered a window encasing the classic recruiting poster of Uncle Sam saying, "I want you."

The explosion occurred in the early hours of the morning, when there are few people in the often bustling area in the heart of Manhattan.

The U.S. Homeland Security Department said there was no sign of an immediate threat to the United States from the blast, and said the FBI was taking part in a probe of it.
