Small bomb goes off outside Upper East Side Starbucks
From the Daily News:
A small improvised explosive device detonated outside an Upper East SideStarbucksearly Monday morning, shattering the coffee shop's windows and raising fears of terrorism.
The bomb tore a hole in a wooden bench outside the coffee chain's outpost at Third Ave. and E. 92nd St. when it exploded at 3:30 a.m.
No one was injured in the blast, but it terrified residents who had been fast asleep early on Memorial Day.
"I heard a giant noise -- a big, giant noise, like a crash -- and there was a flash," said Jordan Kovnot, 26, a law student who lives above the Starbucks. "It made me jump up."
"It felt like an earthquake," saidAdrianna Ebans, 28, who was among more than a dozen residents evacuated from the apartments above the Starbucks. "We were all really scared."
Scores of detectives are crawling over the blast site, looking for surveillance video and trying to determine the nature of the low-grade explosive device, which investigators believe was either placed on or taped to the bench.
"We don't know the motive. Obviously it's a cause for concern," saidPolice Commissioner Ray Kelly. "We're going to do an in-depth investigation."
As Robert Spencer commented regarding this story:
There is no telling who did this at this point. It could have nothing at all to do with jihad.
So why am I posting it?
Because New York Islamic jihadist Youssef al-Khattab, who calls for genocide and has threatened others, hates Starbucks (and how very interesting that he has removed the video to which Jawa linked).
Also, jihadists in London hate Starbucks.
And Sheikh al-Qaradawi hates Starbucks.
Worth watching.
