New York bomb was 'act of terrorism', says Governor Cuomo.
A bomb that exploded in New York City was an act of terrorism, Governor Andrew Cuomo says, but no link to international groups has been found.
Mr Cuomo said significant damage had been caused and "we were lucky there were no fatalities". Saturday night's blast in Manhattan injured 29 people.
Some 1,000 extra security personnel are being deployed to NY transport hubs.
Mr Cuomo said: "Whoever placed these bombs - we will find them and they will be brought to justice."
A second device - a pressure cooker attached to wiring and a mobile phone - had been found four blocks from the site of the explosion in the Chelsea district and was removed safely.
No-one has yet said they carried out the attack.

All 29 injury victims had now been released from hospital, he said.
Mr Cuomo said that the attack was one of the "nightmare scenarios" a governor must face, but he added: "We have no reason to believe at this time that there is any further immediate threat."
He said the two devices in New York appeared similar in design, but different from the pipe bomb that detonated earlier on Saturday on the route of a charity race in New Jersey. That explosion caused no injuries.

What would you say someone blowing up a bomb in the most dense populated area in the US is?

Can't believe all of this is actually happening.
I just made a post that ties into this one with more bombs showing up.
It scares me even more living in this area. ):

Remember it's domestic terrorism with a lone wolf approach, whilst it means it's a lot more difficult to prevent.. It's also worth noting it's likely just a one off and since the FBI, CIA, etc.. Let this one slip through the net undetected, you'd put money on them tightening up their surveilence on certain individuals and ensuring this doesn't happen again.
It is a very minor incident in regards to Terrorist Incidents but still shocking considering the location of the bomb in NYC but credit where credit is due to the boys in Blue and in the Red, for securing the areas and ensuring safety is restored and those injured are well taken care of.. On top of tracking down the suspect in quick time.
