Attempted bombing at NY Protest

[Brother D]

Just wondering if this made the news over in the UK?

(Most news agencies reported it as a 'smoke bomb' or 'suspicious device' when in fact it was an explosive IED - even early pictures show nuts and screws from one of the devices).

After getting absolutely rinsed by people the NYT reluctantly ammended their headline

Unfortunately I think we can expect a lot more of this, thanks to Chump and Kegsbreath etc stinking up the world.

Of course it won't affect them, it'll be other people that die.

I had a little bet with myself that first "Smoking Jars of Metal and Fuses Thrown at Protest Near Mayor's House" would be the New York Times and sure enough it was.

I knew it had happened but haven't seen much in UK press though to be fair I've not been looking.

I did see something last night where I believe the NYPD confirmed it was a viable explosive device.

Seems sheer luck it didn't do some damage.

Kayumi, 19, blurted out, as he was being arrested Saturday, that 'ISIS' was the reason for his conduct, according to the complaint.

Balat, 18, told authorities that he had pledged allegiance to the terrorist organization, and Kayumi asserted that he was affiliated with the Islamic State, the indictment said.

'All praise is due to Allah lord of all worlds! I pledge my allegience [sic] to the Islamic State. Die in your rage yu [sic] kuffar!' he told investigators while he was in NYPD custody, the complaint said.

WW1 was heralded by angry young men throwing bombs; admittedly the bombs failed to achieve the desired outcome so one of them decided to shoot Archduke Ferdinand instead.

Unlike the UK courts, the US ones will ensure they get sent down for a very long spell.

Funny how this story is getting so little traction anymore now we know the bombers are islamists....
