One suspect has been arrested after an explosion near New
York City’s Port Authority bus terminal on Monday morning, the New York
Police Department has said.
NYPD said several people were injured, stating that a device went off and there was a person strapped with a bomb.
NYC
Office of Emergency Management tweeted there was “police activity” near
West 42nd Street between Eighth and Ninth avenues and advised commuters
to expect delays.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said President Donald Trump has been briefed about the incident.
Why Trump’s response matters:
President
Trump had repeatedly shown his disapproval towards the immigration
policy of the United States of America. Trump had said America would be
safer without immigrants from certain countries, which he banned entry
from.
POTUS, who is fond of blaming similar occurrences on
immigrants, mostly Muslims will most likely make similar comments on
this incident.
The President is also known to describe White bombers and gunmen, as a ‘demented man’, instead of terrorists. (YNaija)
