Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) blew chaos and fear into residential neighborhoods in New York City and New Jersey, where a blast hit festivities at a five-kilometer charity race to benefit U.S. Marines and sailors, over the past weekend. The incidents follow a familiar pattern in which homemade devices such as pressure cookers are loaded with ball bearings and other metal objects, and detonated using chemicals that can easily be obtained at retail stores or online.
The first bomb rocked Seaside Park, N.J., on Saturday morning as the Seaside Semper Five race was about to start. Several “pipe bomb-type devices” had been wired together and placed in a plastic garbage can, but the explosion did not cause any injuries. But at 8:30 p.m. a bomb placed in or on a Dumpster injured 29 people in New York City’s busy Chelsea area, where the blast damaged surrounding buildings and shattered nearby windows. Soon after that police discovered a second explosive device made using a pressure cooker a few blocks away. A mobile phone had been taped to the device, apparently as part of a remote detonation mechanism.
Still another incident rattled nerves Sunday evening, when two men found a backpack stuffed with as many as five IEDs near a train station in Elizabeth, N.J. One of the bombs detonated as police tried to disarm it with a robot. Law enforcement officials on Monday apprehended Ahmad Khan Rahami, a 28-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen of Afghan descent, in connection with the bombings.
