So a possibility he tried to do it to avenge the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya.

Not to keep people out, to keep Brooklyn in.

In fact, maybe we could wall up all of New York, turn it into a prison...yeah, this sounds like a great movie idea.

Motive: Ullah told investigators he carried out the attack because of recent Israeli actions in Gaza, a law enforcement source said.

Police have one man in custody, who had an explosive device on him. The FDNY said they are investigating the possibility of it being a terror attack.

Around 7. Got on a train, doors closed, heard a boom, train sat for 45 seconds and then pulled out. Probably last subway train out of the port authority for a while.

Many New Yorkers were unfazed. Shaun Henderson was on the F train after the explosion and said he was just happy the trains were working, even if he was going to be late for work.

“It’s the subway, you know,” Henderson said. “New Yorkers are used to this. The F train doesn’t need a pipe bomb to be fucked up.”

Curse the culprit? Is Allah a warty cauldron-crone? Is the fail terrorist going to get turned into a newt?

In an unprecedented move ISIS have disavowed Akayed Ullah.
“We want to make it clear that this dipshit is not part of ISIS,” read a hooded figure in the 3-minute clip, rubbing his temples with his fingers in exasperation.

“And we’ve claimed responsibility for a lot, you know? But this idiot… holy fuck. No, you can chalk this guy up as… what do you guys call them again? Lone wolf? Disgruntled loner? Whatever you call white people when they do shit like this. Leave us out of it”.

No lol, not like that. It's something we say for someone who does something like this, cursing them with punishment from Allah (SWT), or cursing them to Jahannam (whoops, spoke Arabic) aka Hell. So I'm asking Allah (SWT) (whoops, spoke Arabic) to curse/punish this crimnal unless he repents and asks for forgiveness.
