Mamdani’s New York: Muslim Bomber Declared, ‘All I Know Is I Want to Start Terror, Bro’

The Muslim bombers had explosives that could have killed 60 people.

Formal charges for the two young men who hurled explosives at the right-wing protestors who were outside the formal residence of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

New York Post: Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, were indicted on Tuesday for allegedly hurling two homemade incendiary devices in an ISIS-inspired March 7 attack during the dueling protests outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s official residence. The two homegrown terrorists were caught on footage — from a built-in dashboard camera on their car ride from Pennsylvania to Manhattan — casually chatting about how they planned to target Lang, who organized the hateful rally, and hoped he would be “split in half” in the bombing attack. The pair also discussed how they wished for maximum casualties — and their chilling backup plan to toss the explosives in a café if all else failed, according to court documents.

NY Post:

Two ISIS-inspired bombing suspects were caught musing about blowing up white supremacist Jake Lang and maiming up to 60 victims — both cops and civilians — in dashcam footage from their car ride to an anti-Muslim protest outside Gracie Mansion last month, according to a bombshell indictment.

Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, were indicted on Tuesday for allegedly hurling two homemade incendiary devices in an ISIS-inspired March 7 attack during the dueling protests outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s official residence….

“All I know is I want to start terror, bro,” Kayumi allegedly said in the recording, per the indictment. “I want to petrify these people.”…

Balat then explained that he was also hoping to target “the government” and “civilians also,” to which Kayumi replied, “Yeah, I know.”

He then detailed how he had put a specific amount of Triacetone triperoxide, an explosive known as “TATP,” to kill roughly 8 to 16 people or as many as 60 people if the area was crowded.

After the two discussed how they planned to hide the bomb and flee back to the car, Balat said he just “can’t wait for that bomb to go off and his [Lang’s] freaking head, his body to get split in half, bro, dead.”

“Bro, this is so cool,” Kayumi allegedly calmly responded.

“I’m gonna just start attacking police,” Balat added, later stating that if their primary plan “doesn’t work,” they “could also throw it [a device] in the café.”…

“This isn’t a religion that just stands when people talk bad about… our prophet. We take action! We take action!” Balat allegedly told officers en route to the precinct. “If I don’t do it, someone else will come and do it.”…

Mamdani’s New York: ‘All I Know Is I Want to Start Terror, Bro’

By: Robert Spencer, April 9, 2026:

Nobody got too excited about it, but there was an Islamic State (ISIS) attempted bombing in New York City a few weeks ago, and new details are emerging about exactly what happened. Now dashcam footage capturing a conversation between the two would-be jihad murderers has just emerged, and it further sets the record straight about one of the most wildly misreported events of our propaganda-laden age.

The attempted jihad mass murder attack was reported both domestically and internationally as an attack of crazed “right-wing extremists” upon Communist Twelver Shi’ite New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The coverage was a classic example of the leftist tactic of DARVO: Deny, Accuse, Reverse Victim and Offender. But the reality of what happened is getting harder to avoid.

The New York Post reported Tuesday that the jihadis, two Muslim teenagers named Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, “were caught musing about blowing up white supremacist Jake Lang and maiming up to 60 victims — both cops and civilians — in dashcam footage from their car ride to an anti-Muslim protest outside Gracie Mansion last month, according to a bombshell indictment.”

In the footage, Kayumi says: “All I know is I want to start terror, bro.” He adds: “I want to petrify these people.” In this, the young would-be killer is not likely to have meant that he wanted to turn his victims to stone. Rather, he wanted to frighten them to death, in accord with the Qur’an’s call to Muslims to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (8:60).

Balat and Kayumi were positively eager to do just that. Balat said he wanted to attack “the government” and “civilians also,” and Kayumi had apparently heard that song before, as he replied with a weary “Yeah, I know.”

Kayumi “then detailed how he had put a specific amount of Triacetone triperoxide, an explosive known as ‘TATP,’ to kill roughly 8 to 16 people or as many as 60 people if the area was crowded.” This was in line with Balat’s stated desire to mount a jihad attack that would dwarf the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing. When police asked him if he had wanted to carry out an attack akin to that bombing, Balat replied, “No, even bigger. It was only three deaths.”

In the car with Kayumi, Balat spoke of how eager he was to sow murder and mayhem among the enemies of Allah: he said he just “can’t wait for that bomb to go off and his [Lang’s] freaking head, his body to get split in half, bro, dead.” Kayumi thought that was a fine thought, and responded: “Bro, this is so cool.” Indeed, what could possibly be cooler than murdering people for the crime of not agreeing with one’s religious beliefs?
