Bomb in NYC

Thankfully no one has been killed.

Meanwhile eight people were injured in a stabbing attack at a Minnesota shopping mall. No terrorist links known at present either.

"The suspected attacker reportedly made references to Allah before he was killed"

"The attacker asked at least one person if they were Muslim, Mr Anderson said, adding police "will be diligent and get to the bottom of this"
 
Crazy, since you're eager to defend your islamic murderers again perhaps you could post a different statistic? The number of terrorist attacks and their perpetrators since 2000. Oh and the number of people killed and injured?

They're likely to be more relevant.

Hope they catch the ********!:mad:

Couldn't agree more, hopefully sooner rather than later. The people responsible are clearly extremely dangerous and need removing before they can cause any more destruction.

Or maybe right-wing terrorist :confused:
Considering they are statistically more likely to be responsible :rolleyes:

I think you completely missed his point, it seemed he said "leftie" not because there are more left wing terrorist attacks, but more so him believing that the bomb was not intended to kill anyone.

As for your statistics, firstly, it only goes up to 2005 so only limited data. Secondly, a "terrorist attack" can be very minimal with zero deaths or injuries, but still included in the stats. When you look at the actual deaths caused by attacks you'll see Islam results in more than 6%: http://securitydata.newamerica.net/extremists/deadly-attacks.html
 
[..] pre-2005 stats

You're clutching at straws a bit here.

It is possible that this could be some deranged lunatic but given the target in New Jersey too it would seem these attacks weren't some lone nutter and an Islamist group is quite likely.

We'll probably find out in a few days but my money is on Islamist nutter and I think your efforts to try and paint a picture of militant Islamists not being much of a risk in terms of terror attacks is a tad naive.
 
Except this was placed inside a sturdy trash container ?
Either the person responsible is incompetent or they don't have the stomach for causing mass casualties and bloodshed ?!?

I just want to understand what you mean here, are you saying the bomber put the bomb in a bin so as to cause less casualties?

Really, you people come out with some of the most utter bull i have ever heard.
Do you honestly believe that?

e: Maybe it was a moderate?

And this:
why do you think we don't have bins at UK railway stations and airports?

I think the proof is in the pudding!
Judging by the videos and previous data of pressure cooker bombs it's pretty damn clear that the dumpster helped contain the explosion and reduce casualties, hence thankfully no deaths.
Had the bomb been placed next to the bin rather than in it I doubt we would have been as lucky.
Why they did this I don't know, just seems bizarre if your main goal was to kill as many people as possible?!?

They probably did it to hide the bomb, just like the IRA used to at train stations etc.

So 3 incidents in 1-2 days, the pipe bombs at the charity run, the new york bombs and the stabbings at the shopping mall. Lets hope there aren't anymore.
The video on CNN shows a woman with shrapnel sticking out of her shoulder :eek:
 
Well we cant expect every terrorist to have a second half of their brain can we.

Time will tell but it seems counterproductive to set off a bomb aiming to minimize damage.

Just thankful no ones dead afaik.

Pretty shocking reading to be honest.

Because leaving a pressure cooker on the ground in a country were pressure cookers have been used as bombs might be a little suspicious don't you think?

Also, hindsight is a wonderful thing. Plenty have been killed by explosives in bins.
 
Plot twist, maybe someone picked it up and put it in the dumpster thinking it was left by the bin by some lazy ***.

Im also gonna go with 90% likleyhood of islamist terrorists but due to the overzealous moderation of these threads usually resulting in suspension will leave it at that!

I remember a time when all bins got removed from the town where i lived, i am not sure if it was UK wide but i think it was because of terrorist incidents that used bins to house the bombs.

Arguing that it was put in the bin to cause less casualties is remarkable. This is the world we live in now with excuses or the apologist thinking like that post from crazy.
 
The NYC mayor sounds like a right dope.

"It was not terror related"..how do you know this?
"We believe this was intentional"..well no crap sherlock.

Just glad nobody was killed.
