NEW YORK (Reuters) – New York police closed off part of Times Square in Midtown Manhattan on Friday as part of an investigation into a suspicious package.

Several blocks of Seventh Avenue were closed to traffic and pedestrians.

A failed bomb attack on New York's Times Square on Saturday has heightened security in America's most populous city.

Prosecutors on Tuesday charged Faisal Shahzad, 30, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Pakistan, with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and trying to kill and maim people in the United States.

Shahzad is accused of driving a crude homemade bomb of gasoline, propane gas, fireworks and fertilizer into crowded Times Square on Saturday evening

I just saw this on the news during my lunch break. I thought it was a recap of the car thing.

What's really going on in Times Square? This is crazy.
