SCARE ON BRIDGE

Authorities reopened the Robert F. Kennedy Bridge just after midnight today after it was shut down for about two hours when a U-Haul truck was abandoned. A toll booth employee reported a strong odor of gasoline from the truck, and the driver fled when the employee approached, according to news reports. With traffic stopped in both directions, the NYPD bomb squad examined the truck using X-rays and a camera inserted through a hole drilled in the vehicle. Police determined the vehicle was not dangerous, officials said. The driver has not been located.

TERROR LINK

One of the men arrested in Pakistan Tuesday in connection with the failed attempt to bomb Times Square is a member of Jaish-e-Muhammad, an al-Qaida-allied Pakistani militant group, intelligence sources told the Los Angeles Times yesterday. However, law enforcement officials in the United States said they have been unable to link accused bomber Faisal Shahzad, 30, to any terrorist group or training camp. Sheik Mohammed Rehan allegedly drove with Shahzad from Karachi to Peshawar on July 7, 2009, returning to Karachi on July 22, authorities said. It's not known why they went to Peshawar and whether they met with anyone there.

VIDEO EVIDENCE

Shahzad was videotaped in Pennsylvania buying consumer-grade fireworks that a store official said were not strong enough to make a powerful bomb. Bruce Zoldan, president of Ohio-based Phantom Fireworks, said Shahzad was captured on surveillance video buying fireworks within the past two months.
