3 Hurt When Bomb Strapped to Man Explodes in NY Subway
The Associated Press’s Colleen Long reports, “A man inspired by the Islamic State group set off a crude pipe bomb strapped to his body Monday in a crowded subway corridor near Times Square, injuring the man, slightly wounding three others and sending New York commuters fleeing in terror through the smoky passageway.” The suspect, 27-year-old Akayed Ullah, was reportedly inspired by the Islamic State terrorist group but had no direct contact with it. In a news conference following the attack Governor Andrew Cuomo said, “Let’s go back to work. We’re not going to allow them to disrupt us.”
