Suspect In NYC Bombing Identified As 27-Year-Old Akayed Ullah

Authorities arrested the man responsible for the explosion at the Port Authority Bus Terminal subway station. They’re officially calling it a “terror related incident,” and rightly so.

“This was attempted terrorist attack,” Mayor Bill de Blasio stated.

Akayed Ullah, a 27-year-old Bangladeshi national, is the man who “had wires attached to him and a five-inch metal pipe bomb and battery pack strapped to his mid-section as he walked through the Manhattan transit hub.”

Once again, I’m so glad this terrorist failed miserably. Fox News says he was the only person “seriously” injured in the explosion.

Good.

There were four other “non-life-threatening” injuries.

We’ll continue to update you as more details come out.
