Too Early to Confirm Motivation Behind New York Blast - City Police Chief

18 September 2016, 17:21 GMT

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – On Saturday, a total of 29 people have been injured in the explosion that hit New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood in Manhattan on Saturday night. Another device was found in the region but it had failed to detonate.

According to the New York Times newspaper’s Sunday report, senior law enforcement officials did not refer to the "person of interest" as a suspect. The pressure cookers from which the bombs were made were filled with "fragmentation materials" and seem to have been filled with the same materials.
