Story:

Manhattan (5/1/2010) - NYPD officials late Sunday night released a video showing a possible suspect in Saturday's attempted bombing in Times Square.

The video shows what appears to be a white man in his 40s in Shubert's Alley, about a half block from where the police found a parked SUV filled with explosive materials.

In the video, the man takes off a shirt, revealing another underneath. He is also seen looking back toward where the vehicle was parked, and putting the first shirt in a bag.

The NYPD's bomb squad found eight bags filled with a fertilizer-like substance in the SUV.
They also found three propane tanks, two filled five-gallon gasoline containers, two clocks with batteries and some electrical wire.

When asked about the car bomb's potential, the police commissioner said the explosion would have caused a "significant fireball."

The investigators are looking at the video to find out who was behind the wheel of the vehicle. They believe it is a man in his 40s who was seen in Shubert Alley near where the vehicle was parked.

Investigators say it all began around 6:30 p.m. Saturday when a t-shirt vendor noticed smoke coming from a Nissan Pathfinder parked and idling on 45th Street just off Seventh Avenue.

The vendor then alerted NYPD mounted officer Wayne Rhatigan, who cleared the streets of thousands of people.
