Authorities probe ties between blasts, devices in two states

No one was injured in that blast. He said the unexploded pressure cooker device appeared “similar in design” to the first bomb, but did not provide details.

In addition, the Federal Bureau of Investigation released a wanted poster for Rahami, 28.

Sunday night, additional pipe bombs were found in a backpack outside a restaurant in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Elizabeth is about 15 miles south of lower Manhattan. The New York Times reported that Rahimi was seen by witnesses running down a street and was shot once or more than once by police.

“We need to get this guy in right away”.

A federal defender is complaining that bombing suspect Ahmad Khan Rahami has not had access to a lawyer since he was arrested in New Jersey on Monday. “I should be a newscaster because I called it before the news”. It went citywide May 2009 as a means to communicate localized emergency information quickly to city residents.

“The explosives detonated in New York City, that was me”, the posting reads. “Since its inception, Notify NYC has sent out thousands of notifications about local emergencies”. On Sunday, five more devices were found in Elizabeth, the suspect’s hometown.Police in Linden, New Jersey, which neighbors Elizabeth about 20 miles (32 km) west of NY, captured Rahami after responding to a complaint by a bar owner of a man sleeping in the closed establishment’s hallway. The bag had wires and a pipe protruding from it. Media reports say a Linden business owner saw a man who matched the description of the suspect wanted in connection with the weekend bombings lying asleep in the doorway of his establishment. Twenty-nine people suffered non-life-threatening injuries, with one considered to be serious, NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill told reporters. Amtrak trains heading to NY were held in Trenton early Monday.

Investigators didn’t immediately comment on whether they thought the Elizabeth incident was connected to either of the two blasts.

A homeland security official told Reuters news agency on Monday that the five devices found in New Jersey early on Sunday night were connected to Saturday’s blast in Manhattan.

The attacks came as world leaders prepared to gather at the United Nations in NY for the annual General Assembly.

The explosion occurred on West 23rd Street around 8:30 p.m.in an area frequented by shoppers and diners.

“We have a video of two persons who picked up the bag, took the device out of it and then walked off with the bag”, NY chief of detectives Robert Boyce told a news conference Monday.

NY was on high alert since a pressure cooker device explosion on Saturday rocked the Chelsea district of Manhattan and another similar device was found just four blocks away. Also Saturday, a pipe bomb exploded about an hour from the Elizabeth train station in Seaside Park, New Jersey, forcing the cancellation of a military charity 5K run. No injuries were reported.

Speaking at the scene, New York City governor Andrew Cuomo said: “We really were very lucky that there were no fatalities at the time”, adding that all 29 people who were injured have been released from the hospital.

Obama, in New York City for the United Nations General Assembly, said he spoke to Gov.
