The New York City Police Department cited art not terrorism as a possible motive of the people who put bleached-out American flags atop the Brooklyn Bridge where the Stars and Stripes usually fly.

The replacements were discovered this morning on the towers at opposite ends of the bridge and were removed, police said. Deputy Police Commissioner John Miller said the incident had “no particular nexus” to terrorism or politics.
