Two U.S. citizens, Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, are facing federal charges for an ISIS-inspired attack planned near New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s residence on March 7. Prosecutors revealed that the suspects detailed their intentions in a notebook and audio recordings, expressing a desire to "start terror" and "petrify these people." Balat predicted they would kill between 8 to 16 people, potentially up to 30 to 60 if the area was crowded. The indictment, released Tuesday, outlines eight crimes, including providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction. Although no devices detonated and no injuries occurred during the anti-Islam demonstration and counterprotest, the NYPD stated the attack was capable of causing serious harm. Evidence recovered from their vehicle and a Pennsylvania storage unit included bomb-making materials and explosive residue.
