Letters to US Congress, Times Square Bombing May Just Be Coincidence

U.S. law enforcement officials say there is no apparent link between the bombing of a military recruiting center in New York City and letters sent to Congress containing a photo of the center with the message "We did it."

Law enforcement officials are quoted in media reports saying the timing of the letters may just be a coincidence.

The mailings were sent from Los Angeles to several members of Congress and contained a photo with a man standing in front of the recruiting center.

The small recruiting station was damaged Thursday in a pre-dawn bombing that shattered glass and buckled the front door. The center was empty at the time and no one was injured.

New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said a witness reported seeing an individual who was acting suspiciously near the center just before the explosion.

Kelly said the witness said the person was riding a bicycle, wearing a hood and dark clothing, and carrying a backpack. He said Thursday's blast is similar to attacks on the British consulate in 2005, and the Mexican consulate last year.

The recruiting station is on a small traffic island in the center of Times Square, surrounded by theaters, restaurants and retail stores, in an area known as the "crossroads of the world."
