A
Subway Pipe Bomb Attack Shakes New York City
By COLLEEN LONG
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — A man
inspired by Islamic State
extremists strapped on a
crude pipe bomb, slipped
unnoticed into the nation’s
busiest subway system and
set the device off at rush
hour Monday in a scenario
that New York has dreaded
for years, authorities said.
In the end, the only seri-
ous wounds were to the
suspect, Akayed Ullah, a
27-year-old Bangladeshi
immigrant and former cab
driver, authorities said. But
the attack sent terrified
commuters fleeing through
a smoky passageway,
and three people suffered
headaches and ringing
ears from the first bomb
blast in the subway in more
than two decades.
“This was an attempted
terrorist attack,” Demo-
cratic Mayor Bill de Blasio
