The NYPD and FBI are investigating the improvised explosive device recovered from outside Gracie Mansion during Saturday's protests as a potential act of terrorism in part because one of the two suspects in custody directly reference ISIS in statements to law enforcement, multiple people familiar with the matter said.
The device was one of two ignited during dueling protests outside of the official residence of Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Manhattan's Upper East Side. The law enforcement investigation continued into Sunday afternoon, when the NYPD Bomb Squad dispatched a robot several blocks away from the protest scene to search a car thought to belong to the suspects.
Police said they found a suspicious device inside the car on East End Avenue between 81st and 82nd streets, prompting "limited" evacuations from buildings in the immediate vicinity.
Two men were taken into custody, accused of lighting the devices, during an anti-Islam demonstration led by conservative influencer Jake Lang and a much larger group of counterprotesters clashed outside of the mayor's residence. Mamdani and first lady Rama Duwaji, who are Muslim, were home at the time of the commotion.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch identified the suspects as Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, both believed to have traveled into the city from Pennsylvania, according to sources. The men, ages 18 and 19, were being interviewed by the NYPD and FBI.

Quick, send for the social workers....
They’re checking into whether the two arrested muslim guys are naturalized citizens. Throw them in Gitmo. They’re enemy combatants.
“Identified, but not named.” Oh. Okay, gotcha.
Hey there Mr’s 18 and 19 y/o men, you guys are doing it wrong. This is not the way to protest against Mayor Mamdani.
You’re only justifying their Taquyia based paranoia.
THINK before you act! It may do too late, for you two.
There may be lock up time coming your way.
Long-time lock up time.
This is not the way to protest against Mayor Mamdani.
So Lang had a protest at Mamdani’s place. Two counter-protesters threw IED’s that could have killed a bunch of people, and Mamdani condemned Lang rather than the pro-Islamist terrorists who threw the IED’s.
Tells you all you need to know.
The ones throwing the bombs were not protesting Mamdani. They were counterprotesting against Lang, who was protesting Mamdani.
You have to look pretty deep into the article and totally ignore Mamdani’s statements in order to understand that. Once again, they are framing Lang as the evil, violent person when it was the people PROTESTING Lang who were the terrorists. That’s what we call “journalism” these days.
The headline should be “Pro-Mamdani Protesters Aligned with ISIS Throw IED’s at Governor’s Mansion; Mamdani Blames Jake Lang”.
Ok. Thanks for the clarification.
Nope. they are illegal combatants.
But.... But...... Wasn’t it a “mostly peaceful” improvised explosive device?
Only dangerous to the enemies of Islam?
It is always a joke to see the over-precautions taken with these things. They aren't tiny little nukes. Before you jump in here, yes, I am very familiar with the potency of explosive material.
I’m unable to quickly understand the reports on this.
Sort of like someone opposed to being against those who want to stop the protests of the people on the lawn who are against the stopping of the other protesters.
Police are calling them IEDs, but what if they choose to identify as snowballs?
