    Sounds like it was someone trying to set off a homemade fireworks rather than anything to do with terrorism international or national.

    [rquoter]The FBI, along with the NYPD, are looking into the incident which they believe was a fireworks experiment.

    "It is not unusual for the public to make or try to create homemade fireworks around the Fourth of July," John O'Connell, a deputy police chief for counterterrorism with the NYPD, told Times.[/rquoter]

    Whether this was or was not related to terrorism does point out one thing. It is very difficult to make a functional bomb and usually very dangerous to the bomb makers themselves.
