A New York Post article describes how the letter by David Kames which arrived in Washington on the same day as the bombing of the military recruitment office on Times Square was just an "unbelievable coincidence":
Sources said Karnes frequently sends politically themed material to Democratic lawmakers, and the ones received Thursday did not contain any threatening messages.
FBI investigators interviewed the man and determined the photo was taken several years ago and made into a holiday-type card bearing the message "Happy New Year. We did it." What he was referring to, the sources said, was the 2006 elections in which the Democrats regained control of Congress.
Investigators also continued to determine whether there is any connection between the bombing and two similar blasts in 2005 and 2007 at the British and Mexican consulates in New York.
In the earlier attacks, the bomber used black-powder bombs fashioned out of dummy hand grenades and set off with a lit fuse. While bomb experts were still looking over the evidence, it is believed that a similarly constructed bomb - although packed into a metal ammunition box - was used

The same article describes how the Ross bicycle used by a possible suspect
on a blurry surveillance video was disposed of in a dumpster and later recovered in good condition.
