Bomb Explodes At New Jersey Train Station As Police Discover Five Explosive Devices
zerohedge.com ^ | Sep 19, 2016

One day after an IED exploded in a busy midtown Manhattan sidewalk, an explosion took place at a train station in Elizabeth, New Jersey, after a suspicious backpack was found. The detonation was "not controlled", the city's mayor said. Meanwhile, the FBI has questioned five people in connection with Saturday’s Manhattan blast. Elizabeth's mayor, Christian Bollwage, said the blast occurred when authorities were trying to "disarm" the backpack, and that the explosion was not controlled.

...

As many as five potential explosive devices tumbled out of the backpack when it was emptied, Bollwage said. After cordoning off the area, a bomb squad used a robot to cut a wire to try to disable the device, but inadvertently set off an explosion, he said. "I can imagine that if all five of them went off at the same time, that the loss of life could have been enormous if there was an event going on,” Bollwage said.

Looks like the media were ordered to say shrapnel wounds were nothing more than mosquito bites.

Was able to spot a couple pics of people bleeding.

Disgusting...

And stop calling them IEDs. They are bobby traps. IED is something the PC police want you to call them so they don’t sound as menacing. They are bobby traps meant to kill.

I don’t know if this is true, but the local news reported late last night that all of the injured had been released from the hospital.

There are TWO Comeys to worry about? Big Jim of the FBI does enough aiding and abetting of fraud as it is.

Authorities are searching for a man named Ahmad Khan Rahami in connection with the bombing that took place in the Chelsea area of New York City Saturday night, a source told ABC News.

The FBI has released a wanted poster with a photo of Rahami, 28.

The address of a home being searched by FBI agents in Elizabeth, New Jersey, is linked to a person with a similar name.

I read somewhere that Comey’s relative works for a law firm that handles Clinton taxes or some such thing. Never looked further into it.

Just now, on FBN, Cuomo tells Maria Bartiromo that he "believes it's terrorism. They just don't know if it's foreign terrorism!"

That's their new mantra. They can now admit to terrorism without having to come out and blame Al Qaeda or MB or some other entity.

I’m in the festering boil on I95 in PA. Used to watch channel 5 in the old days when Linda Jelly Belly was doing the weather. I was under the impression in those days that John Miller was a good local TV reporter. Have to admit I don’t watch NY local TV now.

Festering boil, lol. I love PA, especially the Poconos mountains. Seems like a million miles away from here.

The word you’re looking for is “booby”.

Noticed that last night on TV - they were unsure if it was "international" terrorism.
The PC SOBs, the MSM, pinko-commie DemocRats, are going to get us all killed.

I’m so disgusted with labeling Middle Easterners as domestic. The suspect is Afghani. Period.
