NEW YORK (CNN) -- A Dutch national employed with the U.N. weapons inspection agency has been detained for questioning in connection with Thursday's explosions outside the British Consulate in New York, a United Nations official said.

Police said two "improvised explosive devices" made from "novelty-type grenades" exploded in front of the building that houses the consulate.

The detainee works at the world body's weapons inspection agency UNMOVIC as an analyst, the official said.

No one was injured in the blasts, which shattered windows but caused no significant damage, the New York Police Department said.
