“ The NYPD said the investigation is being conducted with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York through the Joint Terrorism Task Force. Suspect referenced ISIS as FBI investigates incident as possible terrorism. BREAKING UPDATE: Additional details surfaced Sunday from law enforcement sources who spoke with NBC News reporter Tom Winter. According to the sources, the incident is being evaluated as “a possible act of terrorism” because “one of the suspects directly referenced ISIS in statements to law enforcement.”

FOX also said that Emir Balat yelled, “allahu akbar” when he threw the IED containing TATP.

Good. That earns him federal charges and a nice long stint in prison. Mamdani and Bragg cant blow it off as extra-spirited bean bag tossing and let the guy go

[Veto!]

This is all too perfect.

I suspect that Mamdammit planned the whole thing so he didn’t look like the Islamist that he really is. NYC is in very deep doo doo.

[LegendHasIt]

Whassamatter? Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi angry that Zohran hadn’t declared full Sharia Law over NYC yet???

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

But.... But...... Wasn’t it a “mostly peaceful” improvised explosive device?

Only dangerous to the enemies of Islam?

"Mamdammit planned the whole thing"

I was thinking the same thing. They are professional hoaxers, after all. (plus, taqiyya)

[Swanks]

In NYC noting ISIS is an attempt to get off easier.

Face reality. On the twenty fifth anniversary of 9/11 there will be more Muslim victory parades than memorial services of rememberance in New York City. Doubt Mamdani will deliver a rousing patriotic speech.

Look what’s happening INSIDE NYPD and NYFD, already.

Disgusting.

Jussie Mamadami.

I’m watching a show about what Isis did in Palmyra Syria
Wish we could hang them using bailing wire while castrating them
The show’s not mainly about Isis, but shows what they did
All because the builders weren’t Muslim
Beautiful temples and building before and after

I think it was dueling protests and the muslim IED throwers were trying to blow up the marching patriots outside the islamist Mamdani home. I don’t think Bilar and intended to do damage to Mamdani, they wanted to kill the protesting patriots.
“In a video from the scene, a man appears to yell “Allahu Akbar” — or “God is Most Great” — just as Balat throws the device. The CBS News Confirmed Team verified the videos. It is not clear from the videos who was shouting the words.”

The islamic terrorist fookers are from PA and their houses being raided.
This was a terrorist attack to blow up Americans.

Apparently at least one was from Langhorne, which AFAIK is a decent suburban area. Is this another case of spoiled second-generation Muslims who self-radicalized?

[doc maverick]

I read one if them was “naturalized” and one family came from Pakistan.

[WKUHilltopper]

Don’t believe anything they say nor the motives of Mayor Commie Goat Boy.

I have heard it was Newtown PA. — Nice upper/middle class area, already leaning more liberal, but there have been a lot of changes in this area lately with “newcomers”. No worries tho - our wonderful Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick (R.ino) is “keeping us updated” /s
