Were going to make sure we have all of the faction. We know there was a bombing. That much we do know. We know it was a very serious incident. And on the other side of the hudson river in seaside heights, new jersey, getting back to normal today. Beaches have reopened in the new jersey shore town that we are closed after the explosion yesterday. It was put on lockdown and several homes had been evacuated following that attack. Blast coming before the start of the 5k race benefitting marines that was set to start but delayed, thats why no one was hurt. A pipe bomb did go off in a plastic garbage can and they did recover several other devices. Lets start in new york city where bryan has the very latest. Hi, bryan. Reporter good afternoon, that is a big, Big Development you just reported, our Rick Leventhal hearing that the devices that went off in seaedside part yesterday morning is connected to the explosive devices put here, the one that went off last night on 23rd between 6th and 7th and the device that was found four blocks north on 27th between 6th and 7th. What we have to understand, we know they are looking at one of the devices that the suspicious device that found, that Pressure Cooker device at the artillery range, they are looking into that. To what extent are all three devices alike . Were they all three Pressure Cooker type devices . We dont know. We were initially told the initial device in seaside park was a pipe bomb and also by the Ocean County Prosecutors Office that that device was connected to two other devices in the garbage can that could have gone off and made the blast larger than it was. Were talking about two active crime scenes here in manhattan and chelsea neighborhood connected to a third crime scene from yesterdays blast in seaside park new jersey at 9 30 a. M. That blast went off at 9 35 about, that race was delayed in its start because of long registration lines and it was a 5k charity race for marines, u. S. Marines, thousands of them who traveled from all over the country and taking part in that charity run and the reason why they were not running past that garbage can was because that race started late because of those registration lines. Here in new york city, the crime scene is active and they are continuing to look for Surveillance Video to gather evidence from the residences here. Were told that should last a couple more hours today. While the second device is being looked at in the bronx. Mayor bill de blasio calling this an intentional act, not yet jumping to conclusions about motivations, listen to what andrew cuomo said earlier today about the potential of this being an attack. It depends on your definition of terrorism. A bomb exploding in new york is obviously an act of terrorism. But its not linked to international terrorism. In other words, we find no isis connection, et cetera. Reporter Governor Andrew Cuomo says new yorker should go about their daily lives but security like weve never seen before. More than 1,000 additional officers and guards out as a precaution. Bryan, very, very fortunate that in both incidents, no one was killed of course. Thanks so much. Indeed, eric. Isis is now claiming responsibility for a knife attack at a minnesota mall that left nine people injured. Isis propaganda today claiming that the suspect was a quote, soldier of the islamic 125i6789 the attacker who was asking one victim if they were muslim, went on a bloody stabbing rampage at the cross roads mall in st. Cloud before he was shot and killed by an offduty Police Officer. Dan springer is live from the west coast bureau with the latest. Dan . Isis related media claiming responsibility for the attack early this morning. The source has been credible in the past. Whats unclear if there was any contact with the Islamic State or if it was justin spired by isis. The fbi wont go that far yet, saying only that this is the joint Terrorism Task force is doing the investigation with st. Cloud police and wont give the suspects car in the parking lot and searched two apartments connected to him. We know he was dressed like armed with a knife and he pulled the knife out and started stabbing people and asked another if he was a muslim. Witnesses also told police the attacker said something about allah. The man lived in st. Cloud but only had a few minor contacts with police. Now his entire background is being looked at. Were currently investigating this as a potential act of terrorism. I do say potential. Theres a lot we dont know. We do not at this point in time know whether the subject was in contact with had connections with, was inspired by, a foreign terrorist organization. The suspects stabbed nine people before an offduty Police Officer shot and killed him about five minutes after the first 911 call came in. Seven men and two women were injured and three remain in the hospital with noncritical injuries. That officer is being hailed as a hero today and saved lives as the attacker lounged at him three times. Not for his actions things would have been worse. I had an opportunity to speak to him a half hour ago and clearly prevented additional injuries and potentially loss of life through his heroic actions. Police wont release the suspects identity. We can tell you nearby minneapolis has been the center of recent terror investigations looking at the large muslim Somali Community a few months ago three men were convicted of terror related charges and the investigation that nine convictions and fed saying isis has done a lot of recruiting in the minneapolis area. It remains to be seen if the knife attack has any connection. Arthel. Thanks, dan. Three terrorist attacks on the same day. Two now believed to be connected in new jersey, the street bomb may have a tie and alleged radical islamic terrorist spree in minnesota. What are the similarities and what are investigators focused on . Ted williams, Fox News Contributor joins us now. Ted, let me start with the bombings in new york and new jersey, they believe they are from the same person. Does that now give us a really potential motive considering the fact that the bombs in the morning at 9 30 in the morning targeted a charity run benefitting our marines and marines family . You may start with an antiu. S. Military motive that somehow was transposed later on in the evening to new york city . Absolutely, its a motive here. That is that there are individuals out there that want to harm and kill us. When you look at the new jersey bombing, i think what tied the new jersey bombing to the new york bombing is the black powder that they found in the pipe bomb or in the pipe bomb in new jersey. What we have are witnesses who say that when a 23rd street bomb went off, they saw a plume of white smoke. And the nexus is with the cell phones, they found the cell phone in new jersey and also found a cell phone at 23rd street and with the Pressure Cooker that was intact on 27th street. So basically, the investigators right now have a lot of evidence, not just the cell phone type, but theyve got the wires and have potential powder and remnants of both bombs and have devices in new jersey that didnt even explode like the Pressure Cooker. You know, best thing that happened in this was to be able to get that 27th street bomb intact. Because there are a lot of forensics that they are going to be able to get perhaps from that intact bomb. Also whats going to be very significant in this, eric, those videos and videos in that area, not so much in new jersey where youre about to see but in the cramped area there in the chelsea area of new york, they are nothing but video cameras and i think thats going to help Law Enforcement significantly. Also something in common with the tsarnaev brothers, from the boston marathon, they had other explosive devices in the car during the chase, throwing them out the back of the car. They had some pipe bombs. Lets say this person took a page from them or from inspire and the al qaeda magazine for a Pressure Cooker and pipe bomb. Let me show you a map of the station, he plants those bombs, potentially could they take the path train from hoboken and jersey city and get off on that block last night and then just walk along and dump one bomb in a dumpster and make a left, walk four blocks north and dump another bomb in the garbage can. Jersey city has been the site of the terrorist sell that they went on to bomb the world trade center. Is there a potential connection there because of the time line and the new jersey path, you could drive but that new Jersey New York connection because of 12 hours plus time difference . Absolutely, eric, very well put together there that map. I can tell you that that is certainly in the minds of Law Enforcement, how a person got from new jersey to new york in order to dispose these various bombs. One of the things that i dont think were talking about enough, was this some kind of a trial run to see how authorities would react . I dont want to frighten anybody, but we certainly need to if we see something, say something, because this clearly may have been just a trial run, eric. Thats a chilling prospect, something weve always learned about and have had those warnings and well heed them certainly in the wake of what we went through in the city over the weekend. Ted williams, thanks you as always for your insight. My pleasure. Life is returning to normal in a new york city neighborhood as the investigation unfolds into the blast along a very busy street. Hear what authorities are doing to track down those responsible, plus donald trump and Hillary Clinton speaking out about the blast. So how soon is too soon for a candidate with limited facts to weigh in . Well discuss. Remember here at ally, nothing stops us from doing right by our customers. Whos with me . Im in. Im in. Im in.

Now our family is complete. Purina cat chow complete. Both Hillary Clinton and donald trump weighing in on the bombing attack, both reacting in their own way. Elizabeth has more from washington. Eric, if youve been following the campaign it was probably unsurprising the differences in reactions and its a hot topic. Donald trump didnt sway from his tough stance, first thing he said when he got off the plane. Look, its time to double down. His running mate mike pence also speaking out today. Just before i got off the plane, a bomb went off in new york and nobody knows exactly whats going on. And were going to get tough and smart and vigilant. Whether it was terrorist attacks or inspired by terrorists abroad, as you experienced here in florida not long ago or whether it was home grown violence, we urge prayer and vigilance. Now on other side of the aisle, we saw Hillary Clinton respond more cautiously on her plane last night, critics say she appeared low energy. Her supporters say she was composed and formal. She also referred to the device as a bomb on first reference but then quickly hit donald trump for getting ahead of the investigation. She said more information was needed before responding. Democratic running mate tim kaine praised her tone and prudence. I think its always wiser to wait until you have information before making conclusions because we are just in the beginning stages of trying to determine what happened. I know everyone is looking to see what the cause was, could it potentially connected to terrorism, no evidence yet but thats going to be looked at very, very closely. Hillary clinton just moments ago releasing a statement writing in part, i strongly condemn the apparent terrorist attacks in minnesota and new jersey and new york and pray for those wounded and for their families and went on to write she praisy s praised the first responders. Donald trump wasted no time saying it was a bomb that exploded before authorities confirmed an explosive die vees was responsible. Hillary clinton just saw reacting more cautiously. So what is the most proper most proper how about the best way to address such fluent situations in this early stages of an investigation . Here with me now, chief Political Correspondent for conservative review and a Fox News Contributor and host of the filter on sir yus xm progress this is what happens when i didnt read this in advance. Thats not an excuse. Lets get down to it. Refocus, arthel. Danine, in situations like this, is it trumps tell it like it is tone that america wants . Well, of course listen, Everyone Wants to know the truth and what the facts are. Statement, unfortunately it is true what happened in new jersey and new york and new york city is on high alert right now. What im looking at is the media and not saying that some outlets are not even saying that Hillary Clinton essentially said the same thing donald trump said. Theres a huge doubled standard going on between the two candidates. What i have here, a quote, weve been touch in various officials Mayors Office in new york to learn what they are discovering as they conduct this investigation and ill have more to say about it once we have the facts. Mr. Trump on the other hand, i must tell you before i got off the plane, a bomb went off in new york city and nobody knows exactly whats going on. But boy, we are living in a time. We better get very tough, folks. Prior to hillarys quote you just read she said that she was informed that bombs went off. And again, the media is not reporting on the same message that the two of them said. Its a big double standard here. I think the difference is that Hillary Clinton lets not forget when Hillary Clinton was senator from new york, she was a senator while 9 11 happened. She has all of the relationships here and has the information, knows where to go and garthing that information. It is true she was informed a bomb went off. The difference is donald trump didnt seek that information, he jumped to assumptions and conclusions and it further it further exploits that narrative of the just asking. Im just asking, just saying and it paints all of these pictures, these conspiracies. You know that mr. Trump had no been advised by his security team, he is traveling with secret service, right. Secret service to protect him, not talking to government not talking to the mayor of new york or governor of new york. We dont know that, arthel. Theres a huge media double standard. Hillary clinton did a total flip going from saying it was bombings to making the other comment she made and the media is not reporting on. This is what weve been witnessing throughout the campaign. Lets talk specifics danine, we have 50 days to go in this race. Do you think mr. Trump has the Foreign Policy chops that it takes to fight this ever present fight locally here on our National Turf as well as internationally . Does he have what it takes to fight the war on terror . Weve seen the mess that has been made under obama and Hillary Clintons leadership when it comes to middleeastern affairs and how horrible their policies have been, at least donald trump is recognizing that there is an issue isis must be fought and that our homeland must also be secure as well. I think there is youll see a different dynamic should he be elected. Different dynamic how though . Well, yeah, listen, hes talked about what needs to be done and said hell surround himself with individuals who are experienced and will inform him of what the best practice is to do versus what we have seen over the last several years, which is an implosion in the middle east. So far his key policy advisers have been Close Associates to vladimir putin, including mike flynn who worked for russian television. Thats not true. Appeared on stage next to let me finish, you cant cut me off. Appeared on stage next to vladimir putin. Tell me why Hillary Clinton would be the best president to fight this war on terror . Hillary clinton was secretary of state and has relationships around the world. She has knowledge of the dynamics. So far donald trump cant even prove hes
