Five suspicious explosives detonated in New Jersey

Five people are in custody after a bombing in the Chelsea district of Manhattan, New York, injuring 29 people, one seriously, on Saturday night.


 Another suspicious device found in a backpack near a train station in New Jersey exploded early on Monday morning.  The United States is recovering from three attacks in 24 hours.

Police have not said whether they believe the backpack is linked to the bombs in Manhattan, or an earlier pipe bomb at a train station in Elizabeth, though an unnamed law enforcement official told Fox News on Sunday that the bombs in New Jersey and New York were "from the same person".

Monday morning's explosion came as a local newspaper reported that an anonymous phone call to the police hours after the New York bombings to warn that there could be other explosions.
