2010 Times Square attack

The 2010 Times Square car bomb attempt was a failed terrorist plot in New York City. A suspect, Faisal Shahzad, tried to detonate a car packed with explosives in Times Square but the device malfunctioned, preventing an explosion. He was arrested shortly after, found with bomb-making materials, and later sentenced to life in prison. The attack highlighted the risks of terrorism on U.S. soil and led to increased security measures. Fortunately, no one was injured, but it underscored the importance of vigilance against future threats.
