ISIS Inspired Suicide Bomber Hits Times Square, Only Hurts Himself

Thank goodness that Bill DeBlasio is so concerned with climate change and horse drawn carriages

(NY Post)  An ISIS-inspired suicide bomber set off a homemade explosive device at the Port Authority Bus Terminal subway station Monday morning, law enforcement sources said.

The man — a 27-year-old who lived in Brooklyn and is possibly of Bangladeshi origin — had wires attached to him and a 5-inch metal pipe bomb and battery pack strapped to his midsection as he walked through the Manhattan transit hub, sources said.

The man partially detonated the device, which he was carrying under the right side of his jacket, prematurely inside the passageway to the A, C and E trains at Eighth Avenue and West 42nd Street around 7:40 a.m., sources said.

Police took the man into custody.

Thankfully, only two others received minor injuries. It was NYPD Bill Bratton who stated that the person was ISIS inspired.

In all fairness to DeBlasio, crime in NYC has taken a dip. The suspect has been identified as Akayed Ullah. He reportedly had a second explosive device, and it’s believed that the station was not the target, at least not where the bomb went off. Ullah is currently housed at Bellvue Hospital, and is reported to be in bad shape.
