The FBI searched a location in Elizabeth, New Jersey Monday morning after authorities detonated an explosive device left at a train station in the city.

A suspicious device found in a trash can near a New Jersey train station exploded early Monday as a bomb squad was attempting to disarm it with a robot, officials said.

Authorities say a pipe bomb exploded in a Jersey Shore town shortly before thousands of runners were due to take part in a charity 5k race being staged in the area.
