Police say when the men noticed the wires in the bag, they immediately turned it over to authorities. And as police attempted to disarm one of the five devices the exam by the robot, there is no Electronic Devices attached to the bomb or the suspected bomb i should say at this point.

And i think its probably a kids science experiment. Reporter the bomb squad used a robot to remove the device so they could examine it for fingerprints, dna and most importantly, the Registration Number of the cell phone, which Officials Say then led them to the suspects father. Right now, thats evidence for us. Could be crucial to our case. Reporter today, police and federal as will be tracking all calls made through the cell phone towers near the blast site. Off the cell tower, you can get information as to who called. And see who, you know, who may be calling each other. Its going to be very, very important.

Authorities tell abc news one video in their possession shows a man leaving an object near the dumpster, which was the scene of the first blast. Then that same man is seen at the site of the second bom it was a viont act. It was certainly a criminal act. It was a bombing. Reporter Officials Say they are also investigating whether that bombing ten hours earlier at a race in new jersey has any connections or similarities to the new york attack. The new jersey bomb, hidden in a garbage bin, was also triggered by a flip phone. Like the ones in new york. Although the bomb was constructed with led pipes, not a Pressure Cooker. What more can you tell us about the suspect can and the five people taken into custody . Relatives of rahami, and they are being questioned by the fbi. Where might he have fled .

And joining us now, new york city mayor, bill de blasio. Thank you for joining us. A terrifying weekend here in new york and new jersey. As we come on the air this monday morning, is the threat contained . George, at this point, look, i want to be clear. Nypd is in a very high state of vigilance. We have beefed up our presence all over this city. Checked in subways, and you will see a lot of nypd presence at key sites across the city. Im confident about what the nypd has out on the vestreets o new york city today. I think in the coming hours, well be able to say a lot more about what happened here specifically. We know a lot more than we did just 24 hours ago. Its certainly leaning more in the direction that this was a specific act of terror. And i think were going to have a lot more to share with the people. What i can say right now is we need the peoples help. Anyone who has information about that situation, we need it now. And the new York Police Department from my understanding is putting up a be on the lookout alert, and they want to release a most wanted poster for this 28yearold man. What more can you tell us about the suspect . Were going to have a lot more to say on that soon. But we want to publics help and as were going to be able to fill in the blanks about what we know, it is going to provide the public some information that the important thing here, again, thank you god no one was seriously seriously injured on saturday. And, people, i think, were wonderful in response to the crisis that happened on 23rd street. People helped each other out. Our First Responders did an amazing job. In the coming hours, as were able to put out more information, its important for the public to fully participate in helping us find out what we need to know. We did have some people who were paying attention in jersey last night, that were able to identify that bomb. Yesterday, you were reluctant to call it an act of terrorism. Are you prepared now to say it was . Well say more in the next few hours, but its definitely leaning in that direction, the more we know. What can you tell us about the five individuals detained apparently on the verrazanonarrows bridge last night . Heading to maybe Kennedy Airport . There was a car that came to the interest of the nypd. That car was followed. They were pulled over. Those individuals have been questioned. Theres definitely a situation there where were learning more information. And as we said, as well, you talked about the preparation because of the u. N. General assembly. You have president obama here today. You have got World Leaders gathering, and a lot of nervous new yorkers. The police out in force. But let me go back to the original question. Do you believe that there are more attacks possibly coming, or do you believe the threat is contained . I believe a couple of things. First, the amount of a capacity we have on the streets is extraordinary. We have the largest antiterror capacity of any force in the country. Youre going to see it. That is one of the ways to make sure there are no further situations. I think until we have pulled all the of the pieces of the case together, its premature to say what might happen next. I do feel that were getting information literally hour by hour. This situation is speeding up. Im very confident were going to find the individual or individuals involved based on but i think we have more work to do. Involved in chelsea, elizabeth, and seaside . Thats an open question. But one, again, that a lot more information is coming in. Its still premature to say if theres a connection. In the coming hours, well be able to tell you more. Mr. Mayor, thank you for your time this morning. Officials believe he was connected to all of bombings. Thats right. We turn and former nypd commissioner ray kelly who is here in the studio with us. Want to talk more about the investigation. Pierre, what is the status right now on the investigation . Reporter good morning, robin. Theres a growing belief of the bombings in seaside and chelsea are connected. Heres what sources are telling many e. All three bombs used flip phones to detonate. There were some differences in design. The seaside explosive device involved pipe bombs tied designed to detonate when the race began. The two bombs in chelsea on 23rd and 27th streets have signatures we have seen from bombmaking designs posted online, including in an al qaedainspired magazine. Both chelsea bombs used Christmas Lights for wiring, and one of the bombs had a label on it for tannerite. That can be used and bought in that Pressure Cooker bomb was described as being extremely heavy, containing shrapnel to maximize injuries. The way you describe those bombs like that, thats how you are able to determine who could be behind it. Reporter exactly. The leading theory is this is a serial bomber beginning to work, but also some investigators believe he had to have help. Ray, you ran the nypd for investigation . I think theyre getting close. We think were going to get a conclusion very soon. The key is the cell phone that did not explode on 27th street. Cell phones have a lot of data in them, and they will trace it back a new jersey, and perhaps it will be him or a member of his family. That led to the identificat leading to an apprehension very soon. Is there anything we can do to stay safe . Its a bustling city, and its a target. A terrorist target, and we want the public to be aware. Anything of untoward nature, that woman on 27th street, she helped solve this case. If you see something, say something. Absolute i. Thank you very much. Hillary clinton and donald trump both here today as well. Of course, this is 50 days before the election. Both are weighing in on the tax. Abcs tom llamas has the latest on that. Reporter before officials even declared that explosion in new york city a bombing, donald trump had heard enough. Just before i got off the plane, a bomb went off in new york. And nobody knows exactly whats going on. Reporter trump, preaching vigilance. We better get very, very tough. Just happened. So well find out. Bu thing thats going on. Reporter Hillary Clinton, who arrived in new york the night of the attack, also calling it a bombing before the official word was out. Ive been briefed about the bombings in new york and new jersey and the attack in minnesota. Obviously, we need to do everything we can to support our First Responders. Reporter clinton later calling them apparent terrorist attacks. But striking a much different tone than trump. To wait until you have information before making conclusions. Reporter and trumps running mate, mike pence, seeming to agree with clinton on at least this subject. It would not be appropriate for me to comment on an Ongoing Investigation other than to say we are thankful in our hearts that there was no loss of life. Reporter both hillary and trump did tweet out condolence messages. But trump also sent this out. Lets put it up on the screen. This happened last night. And clinton, americans have experienced more attacks at home than victories abroad. Time to change the playbook. Trump clearly trying to seize the moment. Well hear from president obama later today.
