Video: Times Square Suspect in Fireworks Store

The man accused of planting an unsuccessful car bomb in New York's Times Square was captured by surveillance videos browsing for fireworks apparently used in the makeshift bomb at an eastern Pennsylvania store.

Store owner B.J. Alan Co., which does business as Phantom Fireworks, released the video Thursday. It shows Faisal Shahzad, the 30-year-old Pakistani-American suspect in the bombing browsing at a Matamoras, Pa. store and buying $95 worth of fireworks March 8.

"The perpetrator purchased Phantom's Silver Salute M-88 brand firecrackers. The perpetrator apparently hoped for a chain ignition and mass detonation of the firecrackers. Consumer firecrackers do not have enough power to produce such an effect, and as a result they do not mass detonate," the company said in a press release.

"We are very disappointed this coward would use a Phantom Fireworks product intending to cause harm to Americans," the company added. "We are thankful there was no injury or damage in this event, and we are gratified that we were able to offer something of value in this investigation."

Company President Bruce Zoldan had said Wednesday that "the M-88 he used wouldn't damage a watermelon."
