"This was not a particularly sophisticated device," said New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, who cautioned the explosive was nonetheless "capable of causing injury or death." At a news conference, Kelly brandished an unassuming green ammunition container - readily available, he said, in military supply stores - similar to that which held the crudely fashioned bomb.
