CNN’s Abby Phillip wrongly claims New York City terror attack was ‘against’ Zohran Mamdani, apologizes

CNN apologized after wrongly stating an ISIS-inspired bomb attack targeted New York's mayor; the device was thrown at far-right anti-Muslim protesters near Gracie Mansion.

  • CNN anchor Abby Phillip incorrectly stated that the ISIS-inspired attack in New York was targeted at Mayor Zohran Mamdani and later issued an on-air correction acknowledging the error.
  • The attack involved bombs thrown at anti-Muslim protesters and police near Mamdani's residence; the devices did not detonate and no injuries were reported.
  • The suspects, Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, were charged with material support to a terrorist organization and use of a weapon of mass destruction.
  • CNN apologized for a social media post that appeared to downplay the bombing attempt and deleted the post following criticism.
