Sara Miller, who was at a restaurant two blocks from the site of explosion, said she heard the blast, then saw people scrambling to get away. "I was here on September 11th so I thought, maybe, you know, I was being paranoid . . . but then I saw people running," said Miller, 42. "It is a scary time because you never know when it will happen again." Officials differed on whether to call the Saturday night explosion an act of terrorism. Cuomo said: "It depends on your definition of terrorism. A bomb exploding in New York is obviously an act of terrorism, but it's not linked to international terrorism." City, police and FBI officials said it was too early to determine any type of motivation, though they insisted they would not shy from labeling the crime an act of terror if it became appropriate to do so.
