Police Query SUV Owner Over Failed New York Bomb; Mayor Pledges More CCTV

New York will spend $110 million to add video cameras in Midtown Manhattan between 30th and 60th Streets, from the Hudson River to the East River, to expand a security network centered on Wall Street downtown, Bloomberg said today.
“I commit to you we will spend whatever is necessary in either federal or, if need be, city funds, to complete this project and to protect New York,” Bloomberg, 68, told reporters at a press conference in the Bronx.
U.S. Senator Charles Schumer will seek federal funding for a system using security cameras and license-plate readers to record and track “every vehicle moving between 34th and 59th Streets,” the New York Democrat said in a press
release.
A man described as about 40 years old was seen on a neighborhood surveillance camera as he hurried through Shubert Alley, a pedestrian walkway between 44th and 45th Streets, steps from where the explosive-laden car was parked May 1, Kelly said.
The man can be seen on the video removing a dark shirt, revealing a red T-shirt underneath, Kelly said. He placed the outer shirt in a bag and walked from the scene “in a furtive manner,” the commissioner said.
Images of SUV
Police also collected images of the SUV as it traveled along 45th Street at Times Square before being left at a curb near several Broadway theaters, the mayor said. While the police department has 82 cameras in the area, there are many more, he said.
“There are hundreds of cameras, mostly in private buildings,” Bloomberg said. “This is a function that government should provide and to the extent that the private sector has information that would augment that, that is great, and we certainly take that into account.”
The 1,949-room Marriott Marquis, across the street from where the car was parked, said it made its video footage available.
“We did provide the authorities access to all video content as needed,” said Kathleen Duffy, a spokeswoman for Marriott International Inc.’s hotels.
What if the terrorist drive down 29th or 61st streets?
