Bomb targets Times Square military recruiting station?

There’s usually not much to report when I get into the office at the crack of dawn, but today was an exception: someone apparently tried to blow up the Armed Forces Recruiting Station in Times Square around 4 a.m. No one was hurt in the small explosion, but the NYPD shut down a six-block area of the busy Manhattan crossroads to investigate with bomb-sniffing dogs.
Interesting situation, especially if it turns out an anti-war group is somehow involved. Then again, maybe it’s just coincidence that the target was a military recruiting station – New York certainly has its share of troubled souls who commit irrational crimes.
What do you think?
According to this story, the Times Square recruiting station has been a part of New York City since 1946. In 1950, Borough President Robert Wagner granted the Armed Forces indefinite use of the land free of rent. The building was renovated and re-dedicated in 1999, and it sits on a small traffic island in between Broadway and 7th Avenue.

O my god! What’s happened there? Here you can find Times Square webcam.
NYPD should start by checking the local Code Pink chapter members for alibis.
It could have been a “Ted Kazynski”(aka the Unabomber) type of nut who was upset by the puppy throwing video from Iraq. The grey hoodie and bicycle, according to news description, sounds like the outfit and transportation an environut would have.
