Thankfully it was a failed attempt. The asshole didn't even get the chance to martyr himself. The people of NYC are damn lucky he wasn't a more competent bomb builder. This could have been much worse.
For the record- I am somewhat surprised he's from Bangladesh. Despite it being a majority muslim country, it's not really in the top 25 for being a hotbed of jihadists. I have heard from people who have been there post-9/11 that they, for the most part, do harbor some anti-US sentiment.
NYPD has named the guy...Yuge Surprises!

Law enforcement sources have also told the AP that the suspect, Akayed Ullah, arrived from Bangladesh with a visa seven years ago, and that he was living in Brooklyn.
The officials said that he was inspired by the terror group Isis but had no contact with its members, and that he is speaking with investigators at the hospital. Adam Gabbatt is at one of the Brooklyn addresses associated with Ullah.
I once heard a piece that made the argument any kind of violence that happens in a public place is technically "workplace violence" because inevitably, someone works there. I agree. Not in the sense of downplaying motives, but in the sense of maybe that is a dumb label.
Buck Sexton or Bernie Kuerik (Keurig?) just interviewed on Fox Business says this guy was here as part of chain migration. IOW, brought here years ago as a relative of another immigrant.
And his injuries are treated because??? Let the f#cker bleed out
I thought majority of Bangladesh was budduist, until I checked wiki:
Religion
90% Islam
9.5% Hinduism
0.3% Buddhism
0.2% Christianity
