NEW YORK — The FBI announced a new reward Tuesday of up to $250,000 for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the suspect involved in the unsolved 2008 bombing of the U.S. Armed Forces recruiting station in Times Square.
The suspect, or suspects, may be connected to two other unsolved bombings in New York, at the British consulate in 2005 and the Mexican consulate in 2007, the FBI said.
"Fifteen years may have passed since the bombing occurred, but the New York JTTF [Joint Terrorism Task Force] is unwavering in the pursuit of justice in this case," said FBI Assistant Director in Charge Michael J. Driscoll."If you have any information about this incident or those responsible for it, please contact us."
The suspect got off his bike near the recruiting station at West 43rd Street and Seventh Avenue, placed the explosive device at the recruiting station, lit a fuse and fled the scene on the bicycle. The explosive device was built using an ammunition can. It was filled halfway with black powder and detonated using a time fuse.
