• A pipe bomb prematurely went off in an underground tunnel linking the Times Square subway station and the Port Authority bus terminal Monday morning around 7:20am
• Police have taken one man into custody, who was wearing the homemade explosive  
• The suspect has been identified as unmarried 27-year-old Bangladeshi national Akayed Ullah, who has been living in the U.S. for seven years  
• Former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton said the suspect 'supposedly was setting the device off in the name of ISIS' and that it was 'definitely a terrorist attack, definitely intended'
• CNN reports that the bomb detonated prematurely and that if it had gone off as intended the damage could have been catastrophic 
• Ullah is speaking to investigators at the hospital, and says he carried out the attack as revenge for recent actions by Israelis against Muslim Palestinians in the Gaza Strip
• He says he made the explosive himself, after reading instructions on the internet
• The FBI has been swarming multiple addresses connected to Ullah in the New York City area 
• The FDNY says three other people reported to local hospitals for minor injuries
• The incident happened just days after President Trump sparked demonstrations across the world by recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital city 
• One of the largest demonstrations took place in Muslim-majority Bangladesh

A Bangladeshi national in his 20s has been taken into custody with serious injuries after a pipe bomb he was carrying malfunctioned and exploded prematurely inside a Midtown Manhattan subway station Monday morning. 

It was the second time in two months that New York City was the target of a terrorist attack, and the first since President Trump sparked Muslim outrage around the world last week by recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital.  

The explosion happened around 7:20am, in an underground tunnel linking the Port Authority Bus Terminal to Times Square. The underground tunnel is a major thoroughfare for workers during the morning rush hour.

The suspect, identified as 27-year-old Akayed Ullah, was walking east towards Times Square when a 'low-tech' explosive attached to his body with Velcro and zip ties partially exploded. Another five-inch metal pipe bomb was found on his person.

 

A photo from the scene shows Ullah crumpled up on the ground of the tunnel as police took him into custody. He was then rushed to Bellevue Hospital to be treated for serious burns and cuts to his abdomen and hands. 

Jack Collins, Sean gallagher and Anthony Manfredini have been identified as the hero cops who took Ullah into custody. 

Three other people also reported to local hospitals for minor injuries like ringing in the ears and headaches. 

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told CNN that Ullah was 'disgruntled' and learned how to make the pipe bomb online. There are conflicting reports about where Ullah made the device. The New York Post say he constructed it at the electrical company where he worked, while a law enforcement source who spoke to the AP said he made it in his apartment. 

Law enforcement sources who spoke to Ullah at the hospital say he confessed to plotting the attack in retribution for recent actions by Israelis against Muslim Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Over the weekend, Israeli authorities said they had destroyed a tunnel between Gaza and Israel - a blow to Hamas, a Palestinian resistance group. 

Ullah is a Bangladeshi national who has been living in the U.S. for the past seven years. Fox News reports that the former taxi driver came to the U.S. on a F-4 visa, a preferential visa for those who have family already in the U.S. The Post says he is a legal green-card holder. 

Investigators have yet to determine an official motivation for the failed attack, but there have been reports that Ullah ed by ISIS. was inspire 

former taxi driver who botched his 'revenge' attack on the US with a homemade bomb: What we know about Akayed Ullah

• Akayed Ullah moved to the U.S. from Bangladesh with his family seven years ago.
• He came to the U.S. on a F-4 visa, a preferential visa for those who have family already in the country, according to Fox News. He is now a legal green-card holder according to the New York Post. 
• Bangladesh's police chief said the suspect, who lived in Chittagong, had no criminal record and wasn't on the radar of authorities.
• Ullah lived in Brooklyn and held a taxi license from 2012 to 2015, when it lapsed. It was for a livery service rather than a yellow cab. 
• New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told CNN that Ullah was 'disgruntled' and learned how to make the pipe bomb online.

• The New York Post say he constructed it at the electrical company where he worked, while a law enforcement source who spoke to the AP said he made it in his apartment.  
• Law enforcement sources who spoke to Ullah at the hospital say he confessed to plotting the attack in retribution for recent actions by Israelis against Muslim Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
• Investigators have yet to determine an official motivation for the failed attack, but there have been reports that Ullah was inspired by ISIS.
• Law enforcement officials told the Associated Press he was not in direct contact with the terrorist group.
• So far, officials believe that Ullah carried out the attack as a 'lone wolf'.

The lad who grounded him should of literally strangled the Fukcer , makes me laugh (not literally) when I hear all these leftie limp wristed clowns making excuses for these savages , there is no reasoning with them whatsoever , they only way too start the fight back is absolutely hammer there families , anyone committing any terrorist attack in this country there whole family should be punished , deported , jailed , denied any government funding , then the others will seriously think twice and if not then try another way but doing nothing but supporting / defending them certainly wont work !!
