World(REUTERS) Investigators on Sunday sifted through blast remnants, examined video and scoured the scene of an explosion that wounded 29 people in Manhattan, attempting to establish if there were any links to international terrorism. Police recovered video from both scenes in Manhattan including images of the explosion itself, New York Police Commissioner James O'Neill said. Although no international group had claimed responsibility, New York state Governor Andrew Cuomo said detonating a bomb in New York City "is obviously an act of terrorism." But the mayor resisted on Sunday when reporters pressed him to call the blast an act of terrorism, saying investigators had yet to determine if there was a political motivation. Her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, referring to the Manhattan blast, said on Saturday: "We better get very tough, folks."
