Boston suspects 'targeted New York's Times Square'

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has said the Boston bombing suspects planned to detonate the rest of their explosives in Times Square.

Mayor Bloomberg said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving suspect, had told the FBI he and his brother "spontaneously" decided that New York would be next.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly told reporters the suspects had a pressure cooker bomb and five pipe bombs.

Mr Kelly said the brothers had planned the attack when they hijacked a car and its driver in Boston last Thursday night to drive to New York.

But police intercepted the brothers in the stolen car, prompting a gun battle that left Tamerlan Tsarnaev dead.
