NYC explosive incident highlights challenge for agencies

Season 2026 Episode 53 | 7m 10s

An attempted bombing in New York is raising questions about terrorism threats and security measures to prevent them. Two men from Pennsylvania are accused of bringing homemade explosives to an anti-Islamic demonstration and throwing one into the crowd. The device didn’t detonate, and there were no injuries. Amna Nawaz discussed the challenge for security agencies with Juliette Kayyem.
