FBI finds explosive residue in storage unit after 2 men are charged with lighting bombs in NYC
Two Pennsylvania teens charged with terrorism inspired by ISIS after bringing homemade bombs to NYC protest; FBI recovered three explosive devices from their Pennsylvania storage unit.
- On March 9, 2026, the FBI conducted controlled detonations of explosive residue in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, as prosecutors charged Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, with throwing devices outside Gracie Mansion.
- Investigators say the two told them they were inspired by the Islamic State group and prosecutors allege they hoped to cause greater carnage than the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.
- Journalists photographed Balat throwing a device, smoking with a lit fuse that was later found to contain TATP, nuts, and bolts, which extinguished without harm, before he dropped a second object and was arrested.
- The defendants were held without bail after a Monday court hearing, and defense attorneys requested protective custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center, Brooklyn, pending a bail application.
- The protest drew roughly two dozen protesters and more than 120 counterprotesters, with Mamdani condemning it as a 'vile protest rooted in white supremacy' while at a museum during the incident.
