Two suspects who allegedly threw a bomb outside New York City Mayor’s home wanted to kill 60 people, prosecutors say.
Two individuals, John Doe and Jane Doe, are accused of attempting to cause mass casualties by detonating an explosive device outside the residence of the New York City Mayor on Tuesday evening. Prosecutors claim that the suspects intended to harm approximately 60 individuals who were attending a fundraising event at a neighboring property.
According to witnesses, the suspects arrived in a van at the location around 9 p.m. They were seen placing a makeshift bomb near the entrance before fleeing the scene. Fortunately, the explosive device failed to detonate, and no injuries were reported.
Prosecutors have charged John Doe and Jane Doe with multiple offenses, including attempted mass murder and the use of weapons of mass destruction. The suspects are currently in custody awaiting trial.
Authorities have not disclosed a potential motive for the attempted attack. The investigation is ongoing, with law enforcement agencies working to gather more information about the suspects and their possible connections to extremist groups.
The Mayor’s office released a statement thanking law enforcement for their swift actions in preventing a potential tragedy. The Mayor, who was not at home during the incident, expressed gratitude for the safety of all individuals present in the area that night.
The case has sparked concerns about security measures for public officials and highlighted the continued threat of domestic terrorism in the United States.
