On May 1, 2010, multiple citizens reported seeing smoke coming from an SUV parked near 45th Street and Seventh Avenue in New York City. First responders searched the vehicle and found the two alarm clocks, as well as other components of a homemade bomb.
FBI agents joined law enforcement partners at the scene and then worked with the @NYPDnews to trace the SUV to Faisal Shahzad. To learn more about how law enforcement partnerships played a role in solving this case, visit ow.ly/GZzq50zNEee.
