A device thrown by a counterprotester during an anti-Islam demonstration in New York City was an improvised explosive. Police say the object contained nuts, bolts and screws, plus a hobby fuse. Police Commissioner Tisch said Sunday that the bomb squad confirmed the device was not a hoax or smoke bomb, but a life-threatening improvised explosive. Two counterprotesters are in custody with charges pending. The confrontation unfolded outside the home of Mayor Zohran Mamdani during a protest organized by the far right activist Jake Lang to “Stop the Islamic Takeover of New York City.” Police also said Sunday that they were looking into a second suspicious device found in the same area of Manhattan's Upper East Side.
