    Just a block or so from Times Square. The family and I just saw a movie less than 10 days ago at the AMC Imax theater less than a block away from this mess.

    Apparently a pipe bomb that went off prematurely.

    FBI investigating as a terrorist attack. Only person injured was the male suspect, who is in custody.

    The device was strapped to him.

    Yeah, I don't see entrails. Not painful enough.

    Although.

    If the explosives were riding as low as that rip makes it look, then... well... I think the injury might be appropriately painful in the long run. Or short run, depending on genetics.

    27 year old Bangladeshi Akayed Ullah. Not quite Akayed the dead terrorist but close. Usual NY suspects declaring lone wolf in 5, 4, 3..

    Pretty weak pipe bomb if all it did was rip his clothes when it went off strapped to him.

    An article says four people were injured.

    Edit: First article wasn't clear.The suspect is among the 4 wounded.

    Four people, including the suspect, were injured in the blast, authorities said. None of the injuries was considered life-threatening.

    They are reporting it as an attempted terrorist attack.

    If people were injured is it not a successful attack even if the suspect planned to hurt/kill more people?

    Not sure if there's a real difference if they charge him with terrorism or "attemtped terrorism" (if that's even a thing).

    I'm glad nobody got badly hurt, including the suspect.
