No apparent link with NYC blast, overseas terror
None
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says there's no evidence that an explosion that rocked a crowded Manhattan neighborhood, injuring 29 people, had any link to international terrorism.
Cuomo spoke Sunday morning near the site of the Saturday night blast on West 23rd Street in the Chelsea neighborhood. He noted that the device in Manhattan appeared to be different than a pipe bomb explosion earlier Saturday in New Jersey and said he didn't believe the two were connected.
Authorities found a second device in Manhattan a few blocks away from the one that exploded and removed it.
Cuomo says the injured have been released from the hospital. Most of the injuries were minor.
The Democratic governor also said that 1,000 additional law enforcement officers were being deployed as a precaution.
