Suspects arrested using smoking explosive devices in New York over the weekend said to be inspired by Islamic State (IS).
Those men displayed their devices during an Anti-Muslim protest by 'far-right' influencer Jake Lang outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani's official residence.
They mingled among counter-protesters when they displayed the devices.
Islamic State has been linked by some observers to foreign intelligence agencies including the US CIA and Israel's Mossad.
Recent IS activities include terrorist attacks in Afghanistan against Shia Muslims and Chinese interests which would seem to serve foreign policy goals of both Israel and or the United States.
