New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly: New York

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Dept: New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev told interrogators from his hospital bed that he and his older brother decided on the spur of the moment last Thursday night to drive to New York and launch an attack. In their stolen SUV they had five pipe bombs and a pressure-cooker explosive like the ones that blew up at the marathon, Kelly said, according to CTV. We don't know if we would have been able to stop the terrorists had they arrived here from Boston, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said. We're just thankful that we didn't have to find out that answer. NEW YORK -- The Boston Marathon bombers were headed for New York to blow up their remaining explosives in Times Square before they were intercepted by police in a blazing gunbattle, officials said Thursday. The plan fell apart when the Tsarnaev brothers got into a shootout just outside Boston that left Tamerlan Tsarnaev dead, Kelly said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
