An NYC bomber still uncaught
While we’re all celebrating the capture of the alleged would-be Times Square bomber, there’s story of another bomber that has been lost in the mix. This bomber successfully detonated a bomber in Times Square, in front of an army recruiting station back in 2008. He is also suspected of setting off explosives in front of the U.K. and Mexican Consulates in New York City. Why has this man not been caught? WNYC’s Bob Hennelly has been following this story and knows the answer.
