There is no claim that it had anything to do with the UN General Assembly ('within 35 miles' covers a lot more than the UN General Assembly). They do say senior US officials were targeted.

So YES, there is a specific claim, and it came directly from the USSS, in the exact article heading this topic. The USSS does not merely toss in observations without a basis in their working threat model (unless they've changed since I worked adjacent to them). It may indeed turn out to be unrelated, but the USSS is publicly stating they are treating it as more than a coincidence.
