A police vehicle is seen in Times Square in New York, Sunday, May 2, 2010. Authorities say police have found an "amateurish" but potentially powerful bomb that apparently began to detonate but did not explode in a smoking sport utility vehicle in Times Square. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Sunday that thousands of tourists were cleared from the streets for 10 hours after a T-shirt vendor alerted police to the suspicious vehicle, which contained three propane tanks, fireworks, two filled 5-gallon (20-liter) gasoline containers, and two clocks with batteries, electrical wire and other components.
