White House: NY car bomb attempt was meant to terrorize

The attempted car bombing in New York's Times Square over the weekend should be categorized as a terrorist attack, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said on Monday.

"I think anybody that has the type of material that they had in a car in Times Square, I would say that that was intended to terrorize, absolutely," Gibbs told a White House briefing. "And I would say that whoever did that would be categorized as a terrorists, yes." (Reuters)
