The FBI released new video on Tuesday of the bike-riding bomber who set off an explosion at the armed forces recruiting center in Times Square five years ago .

Special agent Carlos Fernandez said officials are hoping the new video will encourage witnesses to come forward. "What we're looking at when we see the video is is someone on a bicycle that we capture on 38th and Madison, driving up to or riding up to the armed forces recruiting depot, and then return back and then placing the bicycle in a dumpster," Fernandez said.

No one was injured in the 2008 blast, which occurred shortly before 4 a.m. The FBI is offering a $65,000 reward for information that leads to the capture of the bomber.
