FBI Releases New Video of Unsolved 2008 Times Square Bombing

The FBI announced Tuesday that it is offering a $65,000 reward for information leading to the capture of the suspect behind the March 2008 bombing of a military recruiting station in Times Square, New York, adding in a statement that the suspect may also be connected to bombings carried out in New York City — at the British Consulate in 2005 and the Mexican Consulate in 2007.

The bureau also released “never-before-seen” video from the attack, which shows the suspect approaching the station on a bicycle, planting the bomb, and making his escape on the bike. In an impressive piece of sleuthing, the FBI has gathered footage from what looks to be just about every surveillance camera in the vicinity, and the video below tracks the suspect as he makes his escape:

But in appealing to the public, it’s fairly clear the FBI has hit a dead end in its investigation. The bureau notes that the “height, weight, age, sex, and race of the suspect are unknown,” and that he or she “was last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt and pants of an unknown color.”

The explosive device used in the attack was placed inside an ammunition container, and the FBI also released a photo of the remnants of the device, noting that this type of can is “commonly found on the battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan”:

The FBI has also recovered the bike used in the attack, and posted a photo of what is a pretty cool old Ross number:

So now you know what the FBI is working with. Crack the case and $65,000 could be yours.
