New York City authorities have removed a plastic bag filled with explosives which were found in a historic Manhattan cemetery.
The military-grade C4 explosives did not have a detonator attached and posed no immediate danger, officials said.
Streets in New York’s East Village neighbourhood remained blocked off.
The explosives were found in Marble Cemetery, which is usually closed to the public but was open on Monday, the New York Times reported.
