Explosive Device Found in Pittsburgh

Looks like that man-caused disaster, Janet Napolitano, spoke too soon.

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano made the rounds on Sunday morning news programs to assure Americans that investigators were taking steps to find the perpetrators of what she called a “one-off” bombing attempt on New York’s Times Square.

"Times Square, I think, is now safe. Right now we have no other information, other than it is a one-off," Napolitano said in an interview on ABC.

No sooner did she say that than a bomb was discovered in Pittsburgh.

Runners in the Pittsburgh Marathon were detoured as they approached the finish due to a suspected pipe bomb near a bus station near the end of the course.

CBS station KDKA-TV's Bob Allen observed the bomb squad at the Greyhound bus station at 11th Street and Liberty Avenue.

Allen observed bomb squad personnel getting into their special made suits and a robot being moved into position.

Police at the scene said that the device was a microwave with a pipe bomb inside. The microwave was in a white box near the entrance of the building.

Meanwhile, Pakistani Taliban are taking credit for the failed Times Square attack (via Allahpundit).

A top Pakistani Taliban commander took credit for yesterday's failed car bomb attack in New York City.

Qari Hussain Mehsud, the top bomb maker for the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, said he takes "fully responsibility for the recent attack in the USA." Qari Hussain made the claim on an audiotape accompanied by images that was released on a YouTube website that calls itself the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan News Channel.

The tape has yet to be verified, but US intelligence officials contacted by The Long War Journal believe it is legitimate. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan News Channel on YouTube was created on April 30.
