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.

Media, Mamdani Protect Islamist IED Attackers While Vilifying Whites, Christians

pgnewser March 9, 2026 1

The media coverage of the IED attack by two Islamists on a Christian anti-Muslim rally not only accused the Christians of being white supremacists, they also accused the Christians of throwing the IEDs themselves. Mayor Mamdani of New York focused his ire for the “white supremacists,” but only condemned the IEDs being tossed. He failed to mention the Islamists behind the attack.

The attack was caught on video, so the internet already knew the Islamists were behind the attack, The two suspects are Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, both of whom come from wealthy immigrant parents. They screamed “Allahu Akbar” when they threw the IEDs, which were all verified to be real. Had any one of them gone off (there were three total, two near the Mayor’s mansion), it is highly likely there would have been multiple casualties.

The Liberal Media Reaction to the NYC IED Attack Was Laughably Predictable – townhall.com

It’s on video. It’s astounding they even tried to pitch this as what actually happened outside of Gracie Mansion in New York City, because it was a pure media hoax. Some Muslim extremists hurled an IED at counter protesters over the weekend, even shouting “Allahu Akbar” before getting arrested by police. The media left out details to make it seem like this wasn’t what could arguably be an act of radical Islamic terrorism:

When two suspected terrorists threw a homemade bomb at a protest of Christians, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani first condemned the apparent victims instead of the attackers.

Mamdani posted on social media:

“Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are.

“What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are.”

Funny enough, Mamdani didn’t name or describe the people who tried to detonate the bomb. He didn’t mention that they allegedly screamed “Allahu Akbar” before throwing the improvised explosive device.

I’m New York City was rocked today when two Muslim terrorists —Amir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Nick, 19— threw a homemade explosive device filled with nails, bolts, and screws toward a crowd of protesters while shouting “Allahu Akbar.” The incident has reignited concerns about Islamic violence and public safety in a city that once set the standard for law and order. For many residents, the question is no longer whether authorities are aware of the threat—but whether they are willing to confront it head-on.

The New York City Police Department (NYPD) confirmed that the device lobbed at a group of Christian anti-Islam protesters — which was thrown by an 18-year-old man who shouted “Allahu Akbar” — was indeed an explosive device capable of serious bodily harm. The announcement comes after terrorist sympathizers attempted to claim the incident was a “hoax.”

New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed that the device was indeed an improvised explosive device (IED) that could have killed several protesters and NYPD officers.

“The NYPD Bomb Squad has conducted a preliminary analysis of a device that was ignited and deployed at a protest yesterday and has determined that it is not a hoax device or a smoke bomb. It is, in fact, an improvised explosive device that could have caused serious injury or death,” Tisch confirmed in an X post. Tisch further noted that testing is being conducted on a second device, which was lobbed at a group of NYPD officers.

“I want to again thank the brave members of the NYPD who ran towards the danger without hesitation and quickly apprehended the suspects,” she added. Sunday’s confirmation came after an initial investigation by the NYPD Bomb Squad, which analyzed the device recovered at the scene.

Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani deflected questions Friday about his wife’s apparent endorsement of Instagram posts that celebrated Hamas’ deadly Oct. 7, 2023, assault on Israel.

Rama Duwaji, a Syrian-American artist who married Mamdani in early 2025, liked multiple Instagram posts on the day of the attack and the following day that framed the violence as justified resistance, according to Jewish Insider, which first reported the story. One post from an account called The Slow Factory showed images of a bulldozer smashing through the Israel-Gaza barrier and attackers atop a seized Israeli military vehicle.

Duwaji also engaged with content from The People’s Forum promoting a pro-Palestinian rally in Times Square on Oct. 8, 2023. Both posts featured the phrase “from the river to the sea,” Jewish Insider reported. Mamdani himself publicly condemned that same Times Square rally at the time for minimizing the massacre.

New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch on Sunday announced that the device was real — not a hoax device or smoke bomb, WNYW reported.

Federal authorities carried out raids on the homes of the two suspects accused of throwing explosive devices at a group of right-wing protesters and New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers on Saturday. The raids occurred after law enforcement officials uncovered what is believed to be a third explosive device on Sunday afternoon.

The raids targeted properties and in Langhorne and Newtown Townships, both in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where 18-year-old Emir Balat and 19-year-old Ibrahim Kayumi respectively reside. The two men — who told investigators they were inspired by ISIS — tossed a homemade nail bomb at a group of Christian protesters at an event organized by right-wing activist Jake Lang.

During these operations, investigators examined vehicles, electronics, and other items for evidence related to the construction and transportation of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), according to a report from ABC News. Family members were interviewed as part of the process, though no additional arrests were reported from the raids.

From 5am suhoor with @NYCSanitation to visits to @nycparks’ Randall’s Island garage, DSNY’s Flushing plow shed & @nycdot’s salting operation … it’s working people who show up for NYC.”

Mamdani included four photos, including one of him praying with four Muslim workers from the Department of Sanitation; suhoor is the meal that Muslims eat before dawn during Ramadan, as the fasting period begins with the rising of the sun. He did not, however, bother to explain how observing Ramadan with sanitation workers, or praying with them, did anything to help “keep NYC running.”

“For those who have watched budget after budget, it is tempting to assume that we are engaging in the same dance as our predecessors. Let me assure you, nothing about this is typical. That’s why our solutions won’t be either. There are two paths to bridge this gap. The first is the most sustainable and the fairest path,” Mamdani explained at New York City Hall.

Muslims are the only immigrant group who come to the West with a ready made model of society they believe to be superior to Western law and they work furiously, by all means, to impose it. Under Islam, shariah (Islamic) law supersedes Western law. Anywhere Western law and Shariah law conflict, it is always Western law that must give way.

Mamdani’s Hold on NY Highlights DNC Islam in Practice

If you want to get a sense of what DNC Islam rule is like, New York’s new Mayor, DNC Islamist Zohran Mamdani, is putting to flesh those policies. Already, Israeli companies are being forced out, the Muslim call to prayer is polluting New York airspace, and Mamdani is threatening to raise property taxes by 9.5% if New York state doesn’t give Mamdani the bloated budget he wants (a budget that is almost as much as the entire state of Florida).

Now, Mamdani is also bringing in violent radical Islamists into his government which includes a former CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) staffer. CAIR is considered a terrorist organization by Americans, though our own government so far has failed to recognize this reality. The operative, Faizi Ali, will now be New York City’s chief immigration officer. Expect an army of violent Islamist radicals to be imported to their new American caliphate HQ, New York City, a fallen city.

Projected over neighborhoods that still carry the scars of September 11, 2001. That date is not ancient history. It is living memory…. The Adhan is not ambient background music. It is a declaration. The phrase “Allahu Akbar” means “God is greatest.” It is a theological claim. It is a call to submission. Practicing Muslims understand this. That is not controversial. That is simply fact. Now imagine living in lower Manhattan. Imagine hearing that broadcast before sunrise, rolling through concrete and glass, over a skyline where nearly 3,000 Americans were murdered in an attack carried out in the name of that same phrase. Context matters. Memory matters. And if that memory is ingrained in my mind, being in 6th grade and states away at the time, I can’t imagine where it sits for those in the city (Red State).

Following Ed Koch’s lead, administrations required the homeless to take shelter or moved them indoors when they could not decide for themselves.

I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the opposition to programs that recognize bright, eager-to-learn kids and place them in special classes where they can excel and achieve great things.

Yes, the opposition is based on the fact that more white and Asian kids qualify for the special instruction than black kids, but instead of penalizing the “special” kids, why not work harder to uplift the black kids? It appears to me that no one in school districts that cite “white privilege” for why fewer black kids end up in these accelerated classes ever comes up with ideas to raise black kids up instead of holding other kids back.

Probably too much work.

New York’s Democratic Socialist Party Mayor Zohran Mamdani thinks that these special programs that elevate some kids over others based on talent and gifts are an abomination and need to end. Catering to the lowest common denominator in education, the workplace, and government is how socialists keep everything nice and equal — equally mediocre, at least.

A recent investigative report by Newsweek has exposed troubling connections between the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) — America’s largest socialist organization — and officials linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). These revelations demand serious scrutiny because the DSA has achieved growing political influence in recent years. This influence reached a new peak with the 2025 election of longtime DSA member Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City.

The Newsweek report drew on dozens of internal DSA documents, including meeting minutes and presentation materials dating back to 2021. These records show the DSA’s international committee actively pursuing closer relations with CCP-affiliated entities, often framed as solidarity in the fight against “U.S. imperialism.” In one striking example from a 2025 meeting of the DSA China Working Group, a New York-based member stated: “China wants to interface with the DSA … If we develop a killer two-week itinerary, hire locals, and develop further connections with the CPC [Communist Party of China], then we’re golden.”
