Three attacks carried out in the United States on a single day -- a New York bombing, a Minnesota mass stabbing and a New Jersey pipe bomb blast -- were under investigation on Sunday for potential terror links. US authorities said the motive of all three attacks was unclear, but elected officials quickly identified them as terror-related. There was no claim for the bombings in Manhattan or New Jersey, but a jihadist-linked news agency, Amaq, claimed that an IS “soldier” carried out the Minnesota stabbing. (AFP Photo)IS has repeatedly called for attacks on countries in the US-led coalition bombing the extremist group in Syria and Iraq. The Democratic nominee, whose lead in the polls has taken a dip, condemned what she called “apparent terrorist attacks”.
