Authorities said that a blast that went off inside a garbage can inside a New Jersey beach city was likely intended to stop a Marine Corps charity run from taking place.
Officials described the device that exploded, saying that three pipe-bomb-type explosives were wired together and were found near a boardwalk in Seaside Park on Saturday, CNN reported.
No injuries were reported in the explosion. Officials were forced to evacuate four blocks around the blast, while canceling the charity run.
