Bomb squad probes van in Times Square

NEW YORK - The NYPD bomb squad is investigating a van abandoned in Times Square that officials say has apparently not been moved for two days.

As a precaution, everyone inside the NASDAQ trading building on 7th Avenue and 42nd Street has been evacuated.

The bomb squad is using a robot-based camera to approach the vehicle. Police say the area around 42nd Street between Seventh Avenue and Broadway has been blocked off as a precaution.

The van is a 1992 Dodge, and has tinted windows. A placard from a nonexistent law enforcement agency is on the dashboard. It has no license plates.

Police responded around 8:30 a.m. after a 911 call about a suspicious van. Security is tight as the New Year approaches.
