The weekend bomb attack in New York's Chelsea district, which wounded 29 people, was an act of terror, the city's mayor confirmed Monday following the arrest of an Afghan-born suspect.
"We have every reason to believe this was an act of terror," Bill de Blasio told a news conference two days after the attack, and after the arrest earlier Monday of 28-year-old Ahmad Khan Rahami following a shootout with police in New Jersey.
