Seems like a bad bomb went of in NYC all details or in the way link. Most likely a gay attack.

Second device found near initial explosion:

another device went off in New Jersey at a USMC charity run

so I'd think it is rather likely this is a '**This term is banned**' inspired attack

Hallmark Islamic terrorist attack, but as usual the BBC states no known terrorist link.

C.R.A.Z.Y · 18 Sep 2016 at 10:02

Maybe because they are a NEWS outlet and aren't in the business of Guess work :rolleyes:

This kind of thing will win Trump the election.

That's been quite a lucky escape, obviously not for those injuried; it could have been much worse.

Same MO as the Boston Marathon attacks it seems

Fortunately it seems like no one was outright killed thank (the real) god

Well of course a bomb of any description planted anywhere in the world in any form must be the work of a Muslim.

Regardless of the likelihood, need in this country is generally based upon facts.

He said terrorists not Muslims

Anyone who bombs civilians is a terrorist imo

Except this was placed inside a sturdy trash container ?
Either the person responsible is incompetent or they don't have the stomach for causing mass casualties and bloodshed ?!?

Way too early to assert blame, lets wait for some solid facts and evidence before concluding

He said 'Islamic terrorist' which is a tad more specific than just terrorist

Have relatives in Chelsea district, the bomb blast shook the windows of his apartment which is 12 storey's up.

quite possibly, especially if it was carried out by a muslim immigrant rather than someone born in the US

plenty of terror attacks use bombs placed in bins, the idea of this possibly indicating a benevolent terrorist is just laughable

why do you think we don't have bins at UK railway stations and airports?

Yep I misread that :cool:

In any case some news outlets are/were reporting this as not being linked to terrorists, of course it's some form of terrorists, they're just unsure if it's the terrorists they want it to be

Or maybe right-wing terrorist :confused:

Considering they are statistically more likely to be responsible :rolleyes:

In fact, since the twin towers were hit, self-proclaimed jihadists have killed 26 people in the U.S. whereas rightwing radicals have killed 48, so says statistics provided by the New America Foundation.

And yes you do get leftist radicals / terrorists (But why am I not surprised you are ignorant on the subjest!)

The reports I have read, from the police and fire chiefs, stated two things, initially, they did not assume terrorism (weirdly, what else could it be, might not be muslamic death rays, but a bomb is clearly a terrorism style device), and secondly they stated they could see no link to the New Jersey attack.
Strange to say both things so early on, but we shall see how things develop overnight.

Thankfully no one has been killed.

Meanwhile eight people were injured in a stabbing attack at a Minnesota shopping mall. No terrorist links known at present either.
