2010 Times Square car bombing

The 2010 Times Square car bombing refers to an attempted terrorist attack in New York City on May 1, 2010. A Pakistani-American man, Faisal Shahzad, parked a car loaded with explosive materials in Times Square. The bomb failed to detonate, and alert street vendors reported it, leading to an evacuation and swift police response. Shahzad was later arrested, admitted to the plot, and was sentenced to life in prison. This incident highlighted ongoing concerns about domestic terrorism and the importance of public vigilance in urban areas.
