(Before It's News)

Bombs that went off in New Jersey near a race in support of U.S. Marines and in the Chelsea area of Manhattan, as well as an undetonated pressure cooker explosive found nearby, have put New York City on high alert as authorities investigate. Above are clips of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump responding to the attacks, as reported by CNN.

From The Guardian:

Although the New York mayor, Bill de Blasio, told a media conference the Chelsea explosion was an “intentional act”, he stopped short of saying it was a bomb and said that there was “no evidence” yet of any link to terror.

However, a police officer at the scene confirmed to the Guardian that the first explosion was caused by a device placed in a trash can on 23rd Street. He did not give any further details.The second site of investigation on 27th Street also involved “a device”, the officer said, and police were also examining a third site of interest but it was not clear whether it was an explosive device.

CNN reported that the second device was a pressure cooker, found with wires attached to a cell phone and a note. Pressure cooker bombs were the devices used to deadly effect in the bombing of the Boston Marathon in 2013.

Bomb squad officers removed the device from the site and were preparing to transfer it to a safe location to conduct a controlled explosion away from the heavily residential area.

Below is a video from the scene of the New York explosion.

    Samantha Powers instead opted to insult Russia, which triggered a walk out.

    “Russia is demanding a full and detailed explanation for the attacks on its forces in Syria from Washington, along with an explanation for the U.S. supporting ISIS. That explanation must be given at the UN Security Council.”

    They finally going to create war with Russia!!!!

    Those latest blasts they need to blame Musilims again!
