紐約警察疏散了民眾封鎖了周邊的街道。美國紐約警方說，他們在最為繁忙的時代廣場摧毀了一次汽車炸彈恐怖攻擊行動。
周六（5月1日）晚間，一輛停泊在時代廣場的黑色日產牌汽車裏冒出的煙霧引起了人們的注意，警方隨即疏散了數以千計的遊客和周邊建築內的居民。
一個警方機器人搗毀了可疑車輛的玻璃，檢查車內是否藏有爆炸物。與此同時，大批武裝警察封鎖了周邊的街道。
據警方發言人布朗周日凌晨介紹，在可疑車輛中找到了一些爆炸物品，其中包括炸藥、汽油、丙烷和一個簡易的定時裝置。
警方還發現，這輛日產車的車牌和註冊登記的牌照不符。警方還對有人被看到從可疑汽車中跑出來的報道展開調查。
美國聯邦調查局（FBI）也介入了對這次事件的調查。
奧巴馬總統和紐約市長布隆博格都讚揚了紐約警方的高度警惕性和迅速的反應。白宮說，奧巴馬總統要求將調查的最新進展隨時向他匯報。
布隆博格說，這一事件再次提醒了人們所面臨的危險。
今年初，一名阿富汗移民及其同伙曾試圖在紐約地鐵系統引爆自殺式炸彈。

紐約時代廣場驚傳未爆彈 國土安全監控發展
(路透)2010年5月2日 星期日 14:38
（路透紐約 2日電）紐約時報廣場（TimesSquare）昨晚出現疑似未爆的汽車炸彈，導致警方在百老匯一週最繁忙的夜晚，疏散當地人潮，讓防爆專家拆解這個裝置。
紐約警察局發言人表示：「這似乎是汽車炸彈，防爆小組正在拆解，我們不清楚動機。」
他指出，1名紐約騎警在這輛日產（Nissan）Pathfinder休旅車後面看到一個冒煙的盒子，隨後警方立即淨空這個曼哈坦中城區（Midtown）的知名旅遊景點。
匿名警方消息人士表示，該裝置是顆汽車炸彈，含3瓶丙烷與2罐汽油，他說警方尚未完全結束針對這輛車的檢查。
但他不願透露這起事件是否被當作恐怖行動。
要求匿名的官員表示，美國 國土安全部知悉此一情況，正密切監控發展，但拒絕進一步評論。官員指出，紐約警察局負責調查。
這輛SUV停放地點非常靠近音樂劇「獅子王」（LionKing）45街的演出地點。
現場的路透記者表示，約9時15分的時候，SUV停放地點傳出爆炸聲響。社區事務警官表示，路透記者聽到的這起爆炸，和路人聽見的另一個小型爆炸，都是企圖炸破車窗玻璃的水砲聲響。
警方允許部分民眾進附近的戲院看百老匯劇，但稍後就不讓其他觀眾進場。部分旅館房客也獲准回房，部分表演也得以繼續演出。
現場遊客對整起事件感到不滿又覺得好玩。一名24歲男子表示，他從加拿大 搭乘巴士，昨天早上8點抵達紐約，因為這起突發狀況，導致他無法與朋友在時報廣場的馬瑞奧地•馬貴斯（Marriott Marquis）飯店碰面。
他說：「我覺得自己上了電視節目，（演員）丹佐華盛頓 （Denzel Washington）在哪裡？」中央社（翻譯）

The device was found in a smoking sport utility vehicle parked outside a theatre on 45th street where The Lion King was showing.
Police cleared the streets of thousands of people milling through the landmark district so they could dismantle the device.
A police robot was used to break the windows of the black Nissan Pathfinder to remove explosive materials.
Police spokesman Paul Browne said bomb-making materials including propane tanks, explosive powders and a crude timing device were found.
He said: "There were explosive elements, including powder, gasoline, propane and some kind of electrical wires attached to a clock. No motive has been identified.
"This appears to be a car bomb that the bomb squad is in the process of dismantling,"
Mr Browne said a mounted policeman had spotted a box smoking in the back of the vehicle, followed by a small flash. The alarm was raised at 6.30pm (10.20pm GMT).
A police source said the device was a car bomb and included three tanks of propane and two canisters of gasoline.
He would not say whether the incident was being treated as an act of terrorism. He said the plates on the car had been found not to match the vehicle.
Police are investigating a report that someone was seen running from the vehicle and are reviewing security tapes.
It was the busiest night of the week for Broadway theatres in the area and women in evening gowns were among the hastily evacuated crowd.
Officers with heavy weapons were deployed in the evacuated streets along with FBI agents.
Times Square is four miles north of the site where terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
A block that was evacuated and shut down is one of the prime blocks for Broadway shows, with seven theatres and shows including Billy Elliot.
Katy Neubauer, 46, who was shopping for souvenirs near the SUV, said: "It was a mass of people running away from the scene."
Don Slovin, watching the police through the window of a shop a block away, said, “Of course it conjures up memories of 9/11.”
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was at a public dinner at the White House in Washington DC and left immediately to return to New York.
President Barack Obama, who was at the same dinner, praised the quick response by the New York Police Department and said the federal government was prepared to provide support.
