The would-be suicide bomber who detonated an explosive device underground near the bustling Port Authority Bus Terminal is a former New York City cab driver who told investigators he carried out the attack for revenge, law enforcement sources said. Akayed Ullah, 27, who is believed to be from Bangladesh and was living in Brooklyn, told authorities in sum and substance from his hospital bed: “They’ve been bombing in my country and I wanted to do damage here,” sources said.

US bomb Bangladesh??? That is news to me.

Akayed Ullah, 27, who is believed to be from Bangladesh and was living in Brooklyn...

If the cops aren't sure about his national origin, they could send a sample of his DNA to one of the DNA ancestry analysis companies. :)

Hmmm. I’m a Muslime hell-bent on killing people in one of the most densely populated cities on the planet. I drive a 2-ton vehicle and can easily blend in with half the cars in this city. There are lots of occasions when, for instance, midtown Manhattan is packed with people and cars can get arbitrarily close to these crowds. I’m going to go to the trouble of constructing a half-assed bomb and try to blow up people in the subway.

No bombing by US in Bangladesh.

When muslims say “my country” it can be ANY muslim country, all part of the ummah.

Islamic websites probably blame Sunni on Shia/Shia on Sunni Muslim intramural bombings on the U.S., and semi-literates like this one believe it, like RAT-oriented Americans believe MSNBC or CNN.

They should repair his damaged equipment, strap it back to his belly, put him in old bank vault and give him a second try.

[ColdOne]

They’ve been bombing in my country and I wanted to do damage here...................They?

[Kickass Conservative]

If he was a Cab Drive in NYC, he could have actually killed people by simply running them over.

I guess the Pipe Bomb fulfilled his need to be dramatic.

US bomb Bangladesh??? That is news to me.

We have to remember that "home" for a muslim is anywhere the Ummah is...
Ummah... the world of islam.
90% muslim.

If fully detonated said half-assed bomb will kill the bomber as well as some Infidels, guaranteeing him of immediate access to his 72 virgins. The vehicle weapon will most likely leave him alive, to be fed pork in prison and thus denied paradise.

If more of these guys had above-room-temperature IQ and more rationality they’d cause a lot more damage. Happily they mostly don’t.

[BushCountry]

Not sure of his national origin and he is a license cab driver? Wow.

[vladimir998]

“US bomb Bangladesh??? That is news to me.”

To a “radical” Muslim all of the Muslim world is “home country”.

[Williams]

Revenge my ass. And he means his “people” are Muslims not Bangladeshi.

[econjack]

Yeah, plus no mention of Muslim or Islam.

[Jane Austen]

He should not have been allowed to enter this country in the first place. There would have been much more damage if he had higher IQ.

Hey—don’t forget to wrap him in bacon first!

Ullah came from Bangladesh with an immigrant visa on Feb. 21, 2011. He has a green card.

He was a licensed cab driver from March 2012 to March 2015.

All this spying on tea party people, and this guy goes under the radar? I want my money back.

[Obadiah]

Has Brian Ross labled him a Tea Partier yet?
