Two suspects accused of throwing an improvised explosive device near New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s residence were “trained” by the Islamic terrorist group ISIS, law enforcement has confirmed.
They have been charged after authorities said the device contained a highly volatile terrorist explosive known as the “Mother of Satan.”
Ibraham Kayumi, 19, and Emir Balat, 18, were arrested Saturday following a violent protest outside Gracie Mansion.
Authorities say the pair allegedly hurled a homemade explosive device during clashes between demonstrators and counterprotesters.
