Pipe bomb

Pipe bomb

A pipe bomb is an improvised explosive device which uses a tightly sealed section of pipe filled with an explosive material.

Perpetrator

Akayed Ullah
Akayed Ullah

After the incident, the Port Authority Police Department (PAPD) arrested a "would-be suicide bomber" armed with a pipe bomb (which was filled with sugar and Christmas tree lights[11]) and a battery pack. The suspect was identified as 27-year-old Brooklyn resident Akayed Ullah.[2][12]

Ullah is a permanent U.S. resident.[13] His uncle won a diversity visa lottery which enabled him to bring Ullah to the United States under the family reunification provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.[14][15][16] He was a licensed cab driver from March 2012 to March 2015.[17]

One year after he arrived in the U.S., his father died. He subsequently converted to Salafism and pressured his family to pray regularly and adopt conservative religious beliefs.[3] Ullah's wife and child live in Bangladesh,[18] where he kept books by Muhammad Jasimuddin Rahmani, the spiritual leader of extremist group Ansarullah Bangla Team which is linked to the terror group al-Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent.[18][19] Ullah had at times frequented the Masjid Nur Al Islam, a mosque in Kensington, Brooklyn, which was placed on the NYPD Intelligence Division's "Mosques of Interest" list in 2004. Four members of the mosque are also on the NYPD's "Most Dangerous" list.[20] He wrote handwritten notes on his passport, including "O AMERICA, DIE IN YOUR RAGE."[21] He had posted a warning on Facebook, "Trump you failed to protect your nation", before the attack.[22][23][24] Prosecutors allege he told police after the blast "I did it for the Islamic State."[21]

After being questioned, Ullah reportedly said he was "following ISIS on the internet and reading Inspire magazine".[25] Through online instructions, he learned how to make the explosive device.[24] A law enforcement source told CNN that Ullah said he carried out the attack in response to recent Israeli actions in Gaza over Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.[1][26][27]

The Associated Press, however, reported law enforcement sources told them he was retaliating against U.S. military aggression.[28] Authorities believed he also sought reprisal for American air attacks on Muslims in Syria and elsewhere.[17][24][29] According to statements by law enforcement officials, reported in The New York Times, he chose the Times Square area because of its Christmas-themed advertising.[7] During court proceedings, Ullah denied being an ISIS sympathizer, saying he "was angry with Donald Trump because he said he will bomb the Middle East and protect his nation".[30]
