Gracie Mansion device ruled non-threatening as ISIS-inspired case unfolds
Police said a reported suspicious device near Gracie Mansion was non-threatening after bomb squads secured the area, as investigators tie the broader case to ISIS-inspired terrorism linked to a Saturday anti-Islam protest outside the mayor’s residence; two teens have been charged with terrorism-related offenses for allegedly throwing improvised explosive devices, while the FBI confirmed explosive residue at a Pennsylvania storage unit connected to the attack. Neither device exploded, and officials emphasized ongoing safety and investigation.
