The FBI has found explosive residue in a Pennsylvania storage unit that authorities believe is connected to the ISIS-inspired attempted bombing in New York City that took place on Saturday. Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, and Emir Balat, 18, are facing federal charges in connection with the attempted bombing attack.
“Yesterday’s search of the storage unit believed to be connected to the Gracie Mansion incident revealed explosive residue. FBI Special Agent Bomb Technicians and the local bomb squads conducted a controlled detonation to ensure the safety of law enforcement and others in the area. We’re thankful for the assistance of the FBI Philadelphia Field Office and the local Middletown and Newton agencies who assisted our office throughout the night,” the FBI said in a post to X.
