Teens Accused of Bombing Attempt Discussed Killing Protestors
Two teenagers, Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, are facing serious federal charges for allegedly attempting to detonate explosive devices at a protest outside Gracie Mansion. An indictment unsealed Tuesday reveals that the alleged Islamic State supporters discussed potential casualties, with one stating, “I want to start terror, bro.” Authorities claim Balat ignited two improvised explosive devices, one of which was dropped near police officers as he attempted to flee. The charges include conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.
