..there still doesn't seem to be much information coming out about this but no reported deaths though thankfully....one media is saying 29 injured atm and describing it as 'an intentional act'....

..I don't know though because it's being reported as there not being any credible threat by a terrorist group...so I think possibly not an accidental thing/rather, an arsonist, type thing..?...but not terrorism related though...

'Mayor Bill de Blasio says it was an "intentional" act but there is no terror link
Second device found a few blocks away and has been removed' Not terror related. |

of course it was a terrorist act. That doesn't mean it has to be ISIS or whover, but you don't plant and set off bombs without it being terrorism.

If it were terrorism it would be in the name of a cause wouldn't it?

An incident designed to cause terror - like a massive explosion - is terrorism, regardless of a cause. It could have been a lot worse, I'm glad it wasn't.

I would say that word is being used too often now to describe too broad a spectrum of incidents, it is associated more specifically with international terrorism by specific groups, so much so that the word has become synonymous with IS.

What should we call these incidents in future? You know, when they find pressure cookers full of shrapnel intended to cause maximum injuries and death? What else shall we call them so as not to use the "terrorist" word?
Nothing. Because it's an act of terrorism to plant such a device, regardless of whether it's done in the name of IS, or any other mental terrorist group. |
