NEW YORK May 2 (Reuters) - A failed car bomb that forced the evacuation of New York's Times Square was an "act of terrorism," New York Governor David Paterson said on Sunday.

"Luckily, no one is hurt, and now the full attention of city, state and federal law enforcement will be turned to bringing the guilty party to justice in this act of terrorism," Paterson said in a statement.
