Beginning Saturday morning, three bombs went off at various times in the Northeastern United States. Twenty-nine people were injured in the 2nd detonation, but no humans were harmed in the other two. The explosives were linked to Ahmad Khan, who is said to be an Islamic extremist. These events increases the phobias associated with recent immigration of middle eastern refugees. As terror attacks come onto US soil, Clinton and Trump could have some interesting debates on immigration policies in the next month and a half before the election.
There was a total of 8 explosive devices found, and fortunately only 3 were able to detonate before police were able to find, and use police robots to deactivate the other explosives. Although this has yet to be confirmed an act of terrorism, there is strong belief, and reason to believe this was a terrorist act. There is a presidential debate coming up at Hofstra University, which is in New York, so this could be a good time for the presidential candidates to explain their course of action to limit further terrorist actions in the future. National security is said to be one of the biggest concerns with the up coming election, so this would be a great opportunity to take advantage of an unfortunate event that happened in the "backyard" of where this debate will take place.
