Terrorist attacks struck nine buildings across New York, Washington, and Chicago early today. A Puerto Rican separatist group claimed responsibility, saying the bombs were to mark the 25th anniversary of Puerto Rico’s revolution and to demand independence. At least four U.S. targets were banks, with two in Manhattan and two in the Wall Street area, plus the State Department and Sears Tower in Chicago. Reports note several bombs used high yield devices, with one low yield pipe bomb in New York. Five blasts occurred around 2 a.m. EST, causing minor damage and no injuries.
