FBI searching Pa. storage facility in connection to probe into botched ISIS-inspired bombing in NYC
NY Post
The FBI revealed on Monday that federal agents were searching a Pennsylvania storage facility in connection with their investigation into the ISIS-inspired botched bombing outside Gracie Mansion.
The feds were “conducting a court authorized search” of the storage facility in Langhorne, the same borough where Emir Balat — one of the alleged bomb hurlers — lived with his parents.
“The FBI New York Joint Terrorism Task Force, along with our partners at the NYPD, will continue pursuing all leads and tips,” the FBI’s New York office said in a Monday night X post announcing the search.
Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, allegedly plotted to launch a deadly attack Saturday during an anti-Muslim protest in the Upper East Side.
The duo allegedly tried to detonate IEDs outside Gracie Mansion, but the devices never exploded.
In a five-count complaint against the wannabe terrorists from upscale Philadelphia suburbs, it was revealed that they wanted to cause more deaths than the Boston Marathon bombing.

“Everyone is worrying about what comes next,” reports David Patrikarakos at The Free Press of what people in Iran are telling him. He talked to “a friend in Tehran I will call Reza. ‘The bombing is heavy,’ he told me. ‘And it’s frightening. But we have been frightened and terrorized for almost 50 years.’ ” No one sees any “signs of mass uprising — it’s just too dangerous” as “gangs of Basij enforcers, often heavily armed, roam the streets, threatening civilians and forcing them indoors.” Indeed, “the entire regime is now on a war footing,” but: “The state is in disarray. Senior officials are scattered and confused” and “an internal power struggle appears to be under way.” He concludes: “Despite the Islamic Republic’s best efforts, the battle for Iran — by both external powers and Iranians inside the country — is far from over. It may take time, but I am convinced this regime will fall.”
