The FBI has described a fire set outside a Manhattan federal building on Monday as an 'anti-government attack', after a man armed with airsoft rifles ignited fireworks and doused the ground in flammable liquid.
The blaze broke out at around 11am outside 26 Federal Plaza, a building in Lower Manhattan's Foley Square that houses US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an immigration court, the FBI's New York field office and several other federal agencies. Two people, a federal employee and a civilian, were treated for minor injuries and released.
