Police Say No Taliban Link To New York Car Bomb

New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly says there’s no evidence that the Taliban is behind the car bomb found in Times Square Saturday night. A group called Tehrik-i Taliban claimed responsibility.

The group claimed responsibility for the attempt in a video posted on YouTube. A tie to Viacom Inc.’s “South Park” cartoon won’t be ruled out, Kelly said. The creators of the TV program are a possible target, CNN reported, after an episode showed images of the Prophet Muhammad in a bear costume.

“It was somebody who brought this to the location to send a message to terrorize people in the area,” Kelly said at a press conference this afternoon. “A terrorist act doesn’t necessarily have to be conducted by an organization.”
