CNN edited a shameful social media post that framed two suspected ISIS-inspired terrorists as throwing a homemade bomb in an attempt to kill protesters at an anti-Islam rally, as a couple of Pennsylvania teenagers who were out to enjoy an unseasonably warm day.
The Gateway Pundit reported that on Saturday, two male Islamist terrorists threw a homemade bomb in an attempt to kill protesters at an anti-Islam rally outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s official residence. The bomb was laced with metal and powerful explosives, according to the New York Times.
One of the men screamed “Allahu Akbar!” while getting arrested.
NYPD outlined what terror suspects said about their alleged ISIS inspiration after being arrested following the failed attack.
“Kayumi said in recorded, post-arrest statements that he had watched ISIS propaganda on his phone and his actions that day were partly inspired by ISIS.”
“Balat made spontaneous statements without being questioned by NYPD officers… He said, ‘This isn’t a religion that just stands when people talk about the blessed name of the prophet. We take action. We take action.’”
“As well as, ‘If I didn’t do it, someone else will come and do it.’”
“After waiving his rights, he requested paper and wrote a message declaring in part, ‘I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State, die in your rage, you Kufar’… ‘Kufar’ is an Arabic term that refers to non-believers.”
