Video shows how Akayed Ullah's failed terror attack In New York City only hurt himself
- Akayed Ullah detonated a device in a failed attack in Manhattan yesterday.
- Footage shows the bomb exploding, but only injuring Ullah and startling commuters.
Akayed Ullah, a 27-year-old Bangladeshi man who had been living in Brooklyn, attempted a suicide bombing in New York City's Port Authority during Monday morning rush hour only to fail entirely and wound himself.
Later, police would say that Ullah had been inspired by ISIS attacks on Christmas markets in Germany, and targeted Christmas-themed posters in the crowded subway passage, according to the New York Times.
Additionally, Ullah may have wanted to make a statement about Israel's occupation of parts of Gaza, according to CNN.
But Ullah's homemade bomb failed, and he "did not achieve his ultimate goals," according to New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio.
In video from the blast that wounded Ullah and gave three others ringing ears and headaches, we can clearly see the explosion take place, shoot up a column of smoke and cause the commuters to flee in either direction.
But in the end, the smoke clears and only Ullah remains virtually motionless on the ground. Police found Ullah there and strip searched him on the spot, where they found another undetonated device, the New York Times later reported.
