New York explosion injured more than 29

A powerful explosion shocked on Saturday night the New York's Chelsea neighborhood, in the district of Manhattan, with large effective of policemen and firefighters coming in the aria, reports Reuters. The police is now looking for answers in order to find out what caused the explosion that injured 29 people shortly before a suspicious device was found nearby.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo declared Sunday that there is “no evidence of an international terrorism connection” in the explosion in Chelsea, though he stopped short of saying whoever caused the incident did not want to incite terror. “It depends on your definition of terrorism,” Cuomo said. “A bomb exploding in New York is obviously an act of terrorism, but it’s not linked to international terrorism. In other words, we find no ISIS connections.”

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said Sunday that the explosion was “intentional,” but noted that few details were available because the investigation was in its early stages “We know there was a bombing,” de Blasio said. “We know it was a very serious incident, but we have a lot more work to do to be able to say what kind of motivation was behind this.”

He confirmed that another explosive device - a pressure cooker which was related to electrical wires and a mobile phone - was also found a few blocks away, but it did not explode. The explosion, which occurred Saturday night in Chelsea famous neighborhood, resulted in 29 wounded and produced numerous damages.

Police Commissioner James O’Neill, whose first day in the position was Saturday, told reporters on Sunday that police were still gathering evidence. “We did find some components indicative of an IED… that went off intentionally,” O’Neill said.
