Authorities say ISIS inspired alleged bomb throwing attack outside Mamdani's residence

Описание: Two men who attempted to detonate improvised explosive devices (IEDs) at a protest outside New York City's mayoral mansion on Saturday said they were inspired by the Islamic State extremist group, according to a federal court complaint.
Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, shouted "ISIS" while being arrested, the complaint states. Emir Balat, 18, later told authorities he had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. Kayumi also said he was affiliated with ISIS, watched its propaganda on his phone and was partly inspired by the group to carry out the attack.
“Balat additionally stated that they wanted to carry out an attack bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing, which Balat noted caused only ‘three deaths,’” officials wrote in the complaint.
