A group of counter-protesters, numbering more than 100, also gathered, and two young men from Pennsylvania, angered by the anti-Islam protest, brought the homemade bombs to the gathering, intending to cause harm, law enforcement sources told CBS News.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/03\/08\/ccf4e373-e81c-48a6-badd-88ea3c1538e8\/thumbnail\/620x414\/7c6285f307edc17a053358f1594913f8\/gettyimages-2264800088.jpg#\" alt=\"Protest Held By Right-Wing Influencer Jake Lang Outside Gracie Mansion \" height=\"414\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/03\/08\/ccf4e373-e81c-48a6-badd-88ea3c1538e8\/thumbnail\/620x414\/7c6285f307edc17a053358f1594913f8\/gettyimages-2264800088.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/03\/08\/ccf4e373-e81c-48a6-badd-88ea3c1538e8\/thumbnail\/1240x828\/ca6cc46c44bcb8475f043f024e6380bb\/gettyimages-2264800088.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">A homemade explosive device is seen on the ground after a left-wing protester throws the device at a demonstration held by far-right influencer Jake Lang outside Gracie Mansion in New York City, United States, on March 7, 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Matthew Hoen\/NurPhoto via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The NYPD&#8217;s Bomb Squad sent the devices to the FBI&#8217;s Quantico lab for analysis.

The fuse was apparently connected to an M80-type firework.<\/p>\n<p>Two sources told CBS News that the IEDs contained Triacetone triperoxide, a volatile explosive material.
