"Two persons of interest were taken into custody and the investigation remains ongoing. The NYPD did not state whether the devices came from those participating in the anti-Islam rally or from counterprotesters. It's unclear if Mamdani or his wife, Rama Duwaji, were home at the time. However, police said no injuries or property damage have been reported at this time."
"The incident occurred during an anti-Islam rally hosted by Lang, a right-wing provocateur running for U.S. Senate who called on NYC CHRISTIANS to stand AGAINST THE ISLAMIFICATION OF NYC & AMERICA & ALL OF EUROPE. The rally, held during Ramadan, featured Lang hosting a pig roast in an apparent reference to Islam forbidding the consumption of pork."
"Lang told followers on social media that he just survived an assassination attempt by two Muslim men. The homemade bomb they threw landed 3 feet in front of me. The detonator failed to ignite, because God is on the throne of my life. We will never surrender to Islam."
Suspicious devices were discovered outside New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's Gracie Mansion residence during an anti-Islam rally organized by right-wing provocateur Jake Lang, a Jan. 6 insurrectionist running for U.S. Senate. Two persons of interest were taken into custody, though no injuries or property damage were reported. The rally, held during Ramadan, featured inflammatory anti-Islam messaging and included a pig roast. Lang claimed on social media he survived an assassination attempt, alleging two Muslim men threw a homemade bomb that failed to detonate. The event escalated into physical confrontations between anti-Islam protesters and counterprotesters outside the mayor's home.
