    Car Thief Finds Bomb-Packed Van in New York City

    A car thief on Thursday night found a bomb-laden van wired to detonate by remote control that likely had been sitting there for more than five months, sources said.
    Investigators believe the homemade explosives found on a Brooklyn street in the Ford Econoline belonged to Yung Tang, 39, a Chinese national. He has been behind bars since he was caught Jan. 29 in Wallingford, Conn., with nearly identical bombs in his Mazda MPV minivan.
    Also found in the MPV were two silencers, four hollow-point bullets and two radio-controlled detonators. Days after that arrest, the NYPD searched his Brooklyn house and found yet anther van, a Ford Explorer, full of similar explosive devices.

    In May, Brooklyn prosecutors charged Tang with attempted murder for allegedly planting a bomb near the car of a commercial tenant he was trying to evict. The victim lost his foot in the 2002 blast.

          Did anyone get a schematic of the setup?

                      What I want to know is, was the car thief arrested? Did he go into a police station and say "I just stole this car loaded with bombs"?

                          in the video, they said that the car thief would not be charged.

                                  How is a Chinese national evicting people?? Why are we allowing these fuckers to own property? I can't imagine he was just a manager.

                                          If the fire station isn't burning down, it's not ironic.

                                              Why shouldn't someone be able to buy property if they have sufficient funds? Who cares?

                                                  For the same reasons we don't allow UAE to own ports.
                                                  I thought this was common sense, do I really have to explain this?
                                                  Osama Binladen should be able to buy property here?
