No, why do you need one?

No one has mentioned his identity or of what religion this bomber belongs to.

[Islay]

Well AOG you have suggested that it is a muslim, I was wondering where you got the information from this early on in the investigation.
Perhaps the NYPD should hire you!

I think a harmless firework would have let off a big enough bang to do that.

Why don't you both apply, you could do a 'bad cop bad cop' act for them.

Honestly, it's like a dog with a bone.

//The suspected bomber is a 27-year-old Bangladeshi national who has lived in the US for seven years.
The unnamed man, who lived in Brooklyn, was armed with a five-inch metal pipe bomb and battery pack as he walked through a midtown Manhattan transit hub, sources told the New York Post.
The device prematurely exploded which meant it only partially detonated in the right side of the suspect's jacket. //

//Akayed Ullah is the 27-year-old suspect, New York Police said. The suspect was placed in custody and transferred to Bellvue hospital.//

//The male suspect had explosives strapped on when they exploded, law enforcement official told AP.//

//Former NY police commissioner Bill Bratton has claimed the attack was inspired by Isil//

A firework let off so close to you would indeed scare you, harmless or otherwise.

Let's be glad things weren't more serious.

Is there a short explanation as to why it can be difficult to enter the US for a holiday yet the place is teeming with imported garbage from around the world such as this muppet, various gangsters, drug dealers and general ne'erdowells?

They seem as good as us at keeping the rotting, rancid rubbish out.

Is it you or I that needs to visit specsavers, because I can't see where I have suggested that it was a Muslim.

If you are referring to the word Muslim in my post, let someone explain to you that one doesn't necessarily have to be a Muslim to live where those 'peaceful' Muslims live.

Wow! how you will go to such lengths to protect Muslims, even when you are wrong.

Has I have stated many times, "When America sneezers, we catch a cold"

The UK in a few years time.

It's all down to Mass immigration and Multiculturalism.
