It looks as if the bombers and their accomplices had more jihad in mind than just the one shrapnel bomb they threw at pro-freedom protesters in Manhattan.
“FBI finds ‘explosive residue’ in storage unit related to ‘ISIS-inspired terrorism’ outside NYC mayor’s home,” by Matt Lavietes, Tom Winter, Jonathan Dienst and Deanna Durante, NBC News, March 10, 2026:
The FBI said Tuesday that it found “explosive residue” in a Pennsylvania storage unit believed to be connected to an “ISIS-inspired terrorism” incident near New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s residence over the weekend.
The FBI said on X that it found the explosives and that authorities “conducted a controlled detonation.” The explosives are “believed to be connected” to Saturday’s incident, in which improvised explosive devices were thrown outside Gracie Mansion during protests.
Two Pennsylvania teenagers — Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, and Emir Balat, 18 — face federal charges in connection with the incident.
None of the devices were detonated, and nobody was injured.
A senior law enforcement official briefed on the investigation said several components and chemicals were removed from the Pennsylvania storage facility. The official added that local police detonated some of the components out of precaution late Monday.
NBC News has obtained surveillance video allegedly showing Balat buying a fireworks fuse at a store in Pennsylvania on March 2, five days before the incident.
Phantom Fireworks said the video, which it shared with NBC News, shows 18-year-old Balat drive to its Penndel store around 12:40 p.m. and walk in.
The company said the video shows Balat registering his identification with an employee — something the company requires all customers to do — and purchasing a single 20-foot roll of green safety fuse with cash….

The Muslim narrative paints these teens as Chemistry students working on a school project against Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 9:5, 29, 111; 59:15, etc). The Criminal-Terrorist-Gang Enterprises in Muslim Homes, Muslim Schools, Mosques, etc. are spreading the Muslim truth effectively everywhere. Allah in Qur’an 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah[ie. Allah’s Cause to make Islam Supreme], so they kill and are killed…”.

Speaking of money, where did these two jihadi terrorists get the money to buy their devices to make the bombs? Doesn’t look like they have jobs.
WPM says
One lives in a 2.5 million dollar house with his immigrate family. The made their money running a ” store” ? They both came from families that had alot of money maybe their families had involvement in” learing ” centers or some other government scam stealing nonprofits .The MSM is not interest in their families or friends, and associates. Pam Bondi is more interested in looking good for the cameras and making statements then actions. Cash Patel is MIA on this also ,it is time to replace these people who do nothing even after terror strikes to investigate and go after the true backers of terrorist groups who finance ,support ,and groom them.
OLD GUY says
These two terrorist probably had help or leadership in this action, lets find them also.
