Authorities in New York City are investigating whether improvised explosive devices hurled during a protest near the mayor Zohran Mandani’s residence were part of an IS-inspired terror act, the city’s police commissioner said on Monday, according to news agency AP.
The devices, which did not detonate, were thrown during tense counterprotests on Saturday near Gracie Mansion, where demonstrators had gathered for a "Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City" rally led by far-right activist Jake Lang.
