New York Police confirmed that the object thrown last night during a protest outside the official residence of Mayor Zohran Mamdani was an improvised explosive device. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the device could have caused serious injuries or death and noted that six suspects were arrested. Two of the detainees, Amir Blatt and Ibrahim Qiyumi from Pennsylvania, are suspected of throwing the device and investigators are examining whether they were inspired by ISIS. Mamdani addressed the incident and said: 'The attempt to use an explosive device and harm others is not only criminal, it is despicable and the complete opposite of who we are.'
