New York Explosion: 5 Inured after man detonates pipe bomb- Sophie Sandoval

A man wearing a homemade pipe bomb set off the explosive in a busy transit hub on Monday, injuring five people. Officials said the suspect, 27-year-old Akayed Ullah, pledged allegiance to ISIS and said he acted in response to Israeli actions in Gaza. The device that detonated was a foot-long pipe that contained black powder, a battery, wiring, nails and screws. It was attached to Ullah with velcro and zip ties. The blast detonated around 7:20 a.m. in an underground walkway connecting two subway lines beneath the bus terminal, which accommodates 220,000 passenger trips a day. Akayed Ullah fell to the ground after the incident.

I believe that this was intentional 100%. There are many things that tie this to an act of ISIS. Ullah was willing to gibe his life over killing/harming other people. Ullah has major issues and should be sent to a mental facility. I hope the attacks will eventually stop and things will be safe no matter how large the city is.

  1. This is definitely scary but I am so glad he didn't kill anyone. I just don't understand the mind of terrorists. It is pure evil.
