NYC Bomb Attempt

Two men have been charged after Saturday’s “ISIS-inspired terrorism” attempt outside NYC Mayor Mamdani’s (D) residence.

The 18- and 19-year-olds traveled from Pennsylvania and allegedly hurled two homemade explosives at protestors—a group of anti-Islam demonstrators and counter-protestors gathered outside Gracie Mansion. Mamdani and his wife were not home at the time. Neither device detonated; both were jar-like objects packed with bolts, screws, and TATP, a volatile homemade explosive. 

One of the men reportedly told someone in the crowd he did it because of “ISIS.” The other told investigators he wanted to pull off something bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing, which he noted resulted in “only three deaths.”

Both men now face five federal charges, including use of a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to aid a designated foreign terrorist organization.

CHRISTIAN PERSPECTIVE
The injustice in our world stirs up longing in us for a better world, where justice always wins, and righteousness is never corrupted. As you wait, celebrate the patience of your merciful Father and live holy lives in anticipation of His coming.

“The Lord does not delay his promise, as some understand delay, but is patient with you, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance.” 
2 Peter 3:9 (CSB) (read full passage)
