Bondi says 2 indicted over attack on New York protest at Gracie Mansion
Two Pennsylvania teens face federal terrorism charges after attempting to ignite improvised explosive devices at a protest inspired by ISIS near New York City's mayoral residence.
- On Monday, March 9, 2026, federal prosecutors in Manhattan filed charges against Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, for attempting to provide material support to ISIS and using a weapon of mass destruction after IEDs were thrown near East End Avenue and East 88th Street.
- Court papers say Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, said they were inspired by ISIS and watched its propaganda, with Balat pledging allegiance and Kayumi citing 'ISIS' when asked about his motive.
- Preliminary testing showed one device contained TATP, a highly volatile explosive, and officials said the devices were jar-sized wrapped in tape with nuts, bolts, and hobby fuses, with witnesses reporting flames and smoke before impact.
- The FBI conducted multiple searches, including in Pennsylvania and Middletown Township, and bomb squads performed controlled detonations, with both suspects in custody without bail.
- On Saturday, Jake Lang's anti-Muslim protest drew about 20 people, while about 125 counterprotesters gathered, and Mamdani called the attempt to use explosives 'reprehensible.
