New York. Several homemade explosive devices are found in Manhattan and New Jersey. One injures 28 people when it explodes, others are defused by law enforcement, and still others are detonated by robots. The perpetrator, Ahmad Khan Rahami, is captured after two days of investigation, having been wounded in a firefight with police. A few hours later, a student of Somali origin stabs eight people in Minneapolis after asking them if they are Muslim. He is killed by an off-duty police officer. A few hours later, ISIS claims responsibility for the attack.
