New York (USA), Dec 111 (ANI): New York Mayor, Bill de Blasio, said that Monday's explosion was an 'attempted terrorist attack'. He added that the terrorists target the city because they want to undermine the spirit of brotherhood among people of different backgrounds and faiths. "This was an attempted terrorist attack. Choice of New York is always for a reason because we are beacon to the world and we actually show that society of many backgrounds and faiths can work. Our enemies want to undermine that", Bill de Blasio said. The explosion took place in Midtown at an intersection near the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
