"The first device, homemade but potentially lethal, was thrown during a demonstration against public Muslim prayer, while the second was found in a car parked near the mayor's home. Two people arrested admitted to being inspired by ISIS."
"The demonstration, organised by right-wing activist Jake Lang, saw clashes with counter-demonstrators, who were more numerous, and the use of pepper spray by the police. Bomb disposal experts and law enforcement officers secured the evacuated areas and are continuing their investigations."
