00:00All right, folks, if I were you,
00:01I'd cancel my fancy dinner plans,
00:03because this is the only place we'll be digging in.
00:06Got a car bomb on the Henry Hudson Parkway.
00:08Two in critical condition, 11 dead now,
00:10including the driver of a Dodge Ram,
00:12who we think was the target.
00:13Our goal, figure out who planted the bomb.
00:15Simple enough, right?
00:16Ian, talk to me.
00:17According to our bomb tech, it was a limpet bomb
00:19attached magnetically to the back of the truck.
00:21Would like to know when.
00:23As would I, but where are we
00:24with the GoPro front of the scene?
00:25Well, the memory card was charred in the blast.
00:27I'm working with CART to retrieve it,
00:29but it won't hold my breath.
00:30Right. Okay, so, then we work backwards,
00:33focus on the target.
00:34What do we know about the driver of our pickup truck?
00:36Right, the VIN we recovered
00:37is registered to a plumber in Kew Gardens
00:39named Tarek Amini.
00:4153 years old, born and raised in Queens,
00:43no priors, pays his taxes on time.
00:46Five-star reviews on Yelp.
00:47Well, you may be impressed
00:49that Tarek Amini has zero online footprint.
00:51I mean, nothing. No Facebook, no Twitter,
00:53no website for his business.
00:55Until two weeks ago,
00:57when his daughter posted this photo
01:00on her Instagram.
01:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:04Uh, what's my next question?
01:06Who's the friend? We don't know.
01:07Not in our system, but this is literally
01:09the only image of Tarek Amini on the web.
01:12So, he's paranoid.
01:13Strange details in the timing.
01:15He slips up, a single photo gets posted,
01:17two weeks later, he's dead.
01:19So, who would want to assassinate
01:20such an excellent plumber?
01:22Assassinate? We sure we want to go there?
01:25Well, a lipid bomb rigged with an electromagnetic pulse.
01:28Well, it's an ambitious device, definitely not homemade.
01:30Strange is what it is.
01:32It's a lot of firepower to take out an average Joe.
01:35All right, now you know Eric can notify Tarek's wife.
01:39If there's more to this guy, maybe she can clue us in.
