NEW YORK -- New York City police have identified the suspect in an explosion in a crowded subway corridor near the Port Authority bus terminal Monday morning as 27-year-old Akayed Ullah. Police say Ullah was carrying an "improvised low-tech explosive device" when it went off as he was in an underground pedestrian passageway at 42nd street between 7th and 8th Avenues, beneath the major commuter hub.

Mayor Bill de Blasio called it an "attempted terror attack." 

Law enforcement sources tell CBS News that Ullah said the attack was for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, also known as ISIS. He is believed to have made the bomb himself with the intent of harming others.

Three people suffered minor injuries and the suspect was seriously injured. No other threats were apparent, the mayor said.

"Thank God the perpetrator did not achieve his ultimate goals," de Blasio said.

Did anybody say “the system worked”????

[WMarshal]

We know that Akayed Ullah is an idiot and no longer has a working penis.

[Texas Fossil]

I did not know the latter part of your statement.

Thank you for that information.

Fitting reward for his crime.

[Bogie]

Praise be to incompetence. Perp tagged himself.

[Texas Fossil]

Yep.

I learned everything I need to know about Akayed Ullah on 9/11.

Muslim doing what muslims do, jihad.
Conquering the world for Allah.
It is what Islam has been about since the beginning.
Mad Mo made it so.

[Texas Fossil]

Indeed.

[Paladin2]

What company hired this jihadi to build his “device” on their premises?

[lgjhn23]

“...What CBS says it knows about perp....”

They know he was a “MadMoFlake”!!!!!

[Paladin2]

Jeff Flake supports this NYC effort to embrace Islam?

[Old Grumpy]

” . . . Akayed Ullah is an idiot and no longer has a working penis.”

I didn’t see that tidbit in any other articles, however, if true, we can be grateful there will not be any little Akayeds running around in future.

You misspelled “inbred”.

;^)

[Texas Fossil]

It is a problem.

[Texas Fossil]

Yep

[Texas Fossil]

No company that I know of would.

[Dagnabitt]

An autopsy might yield some clue as to what drove this young man to do this deed.

[Paladin2]

I’ve read that he built his “device(s) at work. Some kind of “Electric” Co.
