This smells a lot like Daesh to me, but then again, NY and indeed the US at large is on a lot of shit lists. This pattern looks a bit like the probes we used to deal with. One IED goes, then they watch how we react. If the responders (or maybe a crowd running away) get close to the secondary, they set it off and hit them to cause more damage. Hard to say- I'd have to see what the investigators have. It looks like they tried scaring a crowd towards a second IED and it backfired, so they bailed.

Dumpster divers perhaps. I wish they'd reported it when they found it though.

Have the multiple attacks actually been linked? Do we know much about the alleged culprits? I know ISIS took credit for the mall knife attack (then again, ISIS would retroactively take credit for 9/11 if they could get away with it).

I'm not a New Yorker, but NY makes it easy by numbering their streets and avenues. 23rd and 27th street aren't that close together that one bomb would "herd" people to the other bomb.

We'll know soon enough I think. The bomber didn't cover his tracks much at all and there's an unexploded device to boot.

No. No one credible has taken credit for the NYC or NJ bombings.

In combination with how ineffectual both attacks were, this suggests an amateur, possibly some random mentally ill person with no actual motive beyond harming others for the sake of it.

Almost immediately he blames Obama and Clinton. He tries to use these attacks for political gain mere hours after they happen.

Sorry, but when I compare this list (~44 attacks on US soil according to WND, which we all know has a bias here) with this list (which is worth noting is incomplete and Afghanistan only) lists coalition victories in the 50 range, with many unaccounted for and likely hundreds of small firefights unmarked.

Seems like Mr. Trump is full of shit.

E: Also worth noting I didn't include Insurgent attacks that were successfully beaten back or stopped, so the number is probably higher still.

As a perennial dumpster-diver myself, it's good to see my people doing their bit for society ...

On Sunday around 9:30 p.m., two men found the backpack in the garbage can and alerted police when they saw wires and a pipe, he said. No cell phones or electronic timing devices were found on the devices, the mayor said.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.
