The bomb that injured 29 people in central New York on Saturday and another device found nearby were both shrapnel-filled pressure cookers, US media report, as law enforcement probe for potential terrorist links.
Twenty-nine people were injured when a bomb exploded in New York's upmarket Chelsea neighbourhood on Saturday night, damaging buildings, shattering glass and sending shrapnel flying across the street.
A second bomb was uncovered by police four blocks away and defused safely, before being sent to the FBI in Virginia for forensic examination.
Both bombs were filled with shrapnel and made with pressure cookers, flip phones, Christmas lights and explosive compound, The New York Times reported late Sunday, citing law enforcement officials....

No worries. They were prolly just unexploded civil war artifacts or something.
We need to ban bombs to stop this.
Christmas lights? Seems like a weird choice of component.
But, there is no proof they were bombs and it was irresponsible for Trump to say so! (heavy sarcasm)
IIRC there’s something about the wiring in Christmas lights that makes them useful for a bomb.
Just a vague memory I’m afraid - perhaps another Freeper can chip in!
Well .... It could have been liberal heads exploding when they saw the latest polls!
“IIRC there’s something about the wiring in Christmas lights that makes them useful for a bomb.”
LOLOLOL! Good one!
Shrapnel? Bite into the tamale and bite a piece of metal. That is expensive dental work.
Seriously though, replace our Govt hacks, and put in folks who get the job done. Profile Islamics then deport them.
Nativists build bombs to blow up plastic models, and say “wow!”
Islamics build bombs to hurt people. Govt supports the killers.
This is not brain surgery. Fire inept Govt losers. Profile then Deport. — It is really that simple.
Thanks MrShoop, that’s it exactly!
Goodness me, what an insane site. Note the two dates at the top right.
Hubby said the stuff they used as an explosive, can’t recall the name, starts with a “t”, was a poor choice because the stuff is relatively stable.
Luckily, jihadis aren’t the best bomb makers. They should have consulted with Clock Boy.
Rampant Islam in a free society is nothing but a tool in this case to strip us of our rights, liberty, and a boot to the back of our necks to usher in a permanent police state.

Just because they were shrapnel filled pressure cookers, lets not jump to conclusions and call them “bombs.”
Obama will ban Christmas lights.
From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
March 6, 1970: "three members of the Weather Underground accidentally killed themselves in a Manhattan townhouse while attempting to build a powerful bomb they had intended to plant at a social dance in Fort Dix, New Jersey -- an event that was to be attended by U.S. Army soldiers. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plot been successfully executed."

"The bomb was intended to be planted at a non-commissioned officer's dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey. The bomb was packed with nails to inflict maximum casualties upon detonation."
"The bomb preparations have been pointed out by critics of the claim that the Weatherman group did not try to take lives with its bombings.
Harvey Klehr, the Andrew W. Mellon professor of politics and history at Emory University in Atlanta, said in 2003:
"The only reason they were not guilty of mass murder is mere incompetence. I don't know what sort of defense that is."[2]"

"It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming 'community organizer,' had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World - where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working 'only to educate' - both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers."

I believe the light are used to ignite the explosive
Yup, and I’m sure all posters have heard by now of the 5 muslims arrested in SUV packed with weapons and the pipe bomb the cops detonated - more were at the ready.
Two guys found one of the bombs in the trash and called cops - the female photographer found the second one in the city in Chelsea. Thank God for these people.
The S*** is on people. Be alert, be ready, stay safe - God be with us all.
