Terrorism Investigation Launched After Explosive Devices Thrown During NYC Protests

Authorities are investigating a series of serious incidents involving explosive devices amid protests outside Gracie Mansion, home to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Two men have been charged with terrorism for allegedly throwing homemade explosives at a demonstration. Reports indicate that the suspects, inspired by the Islamic State, aimed to escalate their attacks beyond prior terror events. The FBI has been involved in probing the incidents, which included controlled detonations of improvised devices found in a storage unit linked to the suspects. Tensions escalated further when a suspicious package was reported near Gracie Mansion, prompting heightened security measures. The NYPD has confirmed that these attacks pose a grave risk to public safety, with investigations ongoing into the motivations and backgrounds of those involved.
