US EditionExplosives thrown near New York City mayor's residence investigated as 'ISIS-related terrorism'
Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, charged with using improvised explosives, said they were inspired by Islamic State and intended an attack larger than the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.
- On Saturday, improvised explosive devices were hurled at an anti-Islam demonstration outside Gracie Mansion, and authorities are investigating as ISIS-inspired, with two suspects in custody.
- Investigators say Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi traveled from Pennsylvania to 'bring violence,' referencing ISIS material, authorities say.
- The NYPD Bomb Squad found the device thrown at a protest yesterday was an improvised explosive, not a hoax or smoke bomb, and described it as a jar wrapped in black tape with nuts, bolts, screws, and a hobby fuse.
- Police closed streets and ordered evacuations while a suspicious device was removed; FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force and U.S. Attorney's Office are involved, with detainees in federal custody.
- Follow-Up tests are underway on a second device, searches of suspects' homes and electronic devices are expected, and charges remain pending as federal interviewers continue questioning.
