Newly released security video of attempted homicide bombing bombing in the New York City subway system gives a fuller picture of the police response. Akayed Ullah’s jihad: to send a twisted anti-American message and kill dozens of people at one of the world’s busiest transit hubs.
Akayed Ullah, his 27-year-old mind fermenting with thoughts of martyrdom for ISIS, donned a dark hooded jacket and a dark backpack to cover his homemade bomb and fell in with New Yorkers on a train beginning their regular work week.

Exclusive: New Video Shows Dramatic Police Response in Port Authority Subway Blast
The video obtained only by News 4 shows the tense aftermath of the blast as authorities try to figure out what they’re dealing with and if there’s still a risk of explosion
By Andrew Siff, NBC News, February 13, 2017:
Surveillance video obtained exclusively by News 4 New York shows the dramatic moments immediately after the Port Authority pipe bomb blast last December in which first responders swarm the bomber — and realize he’s still strapped.
Akayed Ullah, a Bangladeshi immigrant who was living in Brooklyn, tried to set off the pipe bomb in the corridor between the Port Authority Bus Terminal and the Times Square subway station the morning of Dec. 11, as commuters were rushing to work. Video obtained by the News 4 I-Team shows a sudden flash, and then when the smoke clears, Ullah is lying on the ground, legs twitching.
The corridor has suddenly emptied, and a horrified crowd gathers at one end to peer at the body on the ground, before police arrive to push them out and evacuate the terminal.
A contingent of police officers and military guardsmen soon sweeps in from the end of the corridor, flashlights on and guns drawn. They descend on Ullah and, peering over his body, suddenly see something that alarms them, and they quickly retreat.
“There might be something in his hand that they’re trying to prevent him from activating,” said retired FBI agent JJ Klaver, who reviewed the footage with the News 4 I-Team. “And then this officer, she steps on him.”
Klaver noted that the first team of officers who respond follows their training by not reaching for their radios or any electronics that could trigger a bomb.
“They can’t use their radios in that proximity,” he said. “The training is, you’re not gonna use your radio or cellphone. You’re gonna back away.”
Moments later, Ullah, still lying on the ground, shows signs of consciousness as he bends a leg. Four Port Authority police officers — who have since been honored and decorated for their bravery — approach Ullah, cautiously, not knowing if someone else might be able to remotely activate the pipe bomb fastened to Ullah’s body with Velcro and zip ties.
“They’re at risk here, and they know that,” said Klaver, then noting of one officer: “This guy’s at maximum risk because he’s facing the explosives.”
“Heartbeats are going. This is a very nerve-racking situation for these guys.”

” … and the arrest of the accused terrorist …” Followed by “accused bomber”. Yes, it’s obvious … someone else set off a bomb .. then did their very best to frame that poor banger moslem from bangerdouche. They left out the part about an “alleged bomb”.
You know and I know, lottery is used in GAMBLING
You may not know but I know, that GAMBLING IS ILLEGAL IN ISLAM
But that does not prevent that islamic scum from entering the United States via that lottery visa set up by the Demoncraps (and endorsed by RINOs)
the police should have called in the fire department to inundate the bomber and immediate vicinity around him with high pressure water, enough to disassemble any explosive device or the assassin himself.
The higher the water pressure, the better. It would all be caught on this same video. Oh, the joy.
GET OFF THIS WEBSITE !!
NOT GONE YET? GET ‘THE HELL’ OFF THIS WEBSITE !! GO AWAY !
GET LOST ! YOU ARE FULL OF IT.
Fortunately it’s finally seeping into the mainstream-still a trickle that Islam is at war with us. This is not a false alarm, these are not ‘lone wolves’ this is a pattern of behavior that happens when an ideology is trying to destroy your nation.
Obviously not all Muslims are evil, just as not all Germans were Nazis-however we were at war with Nazism and it’s adherents and now we are in a global war against Islam and its Muslim adherents.
The sooner we figure this out, the sooner we can save lives, esp women/children who are at the greatest risk of rape, torture and killing by Muslim gangs. Not to mention all of the thousands of Islamic terrorist enclaves around the world and on our soil.
This is how the West should be devoting all their resources, rather than trying to excuse their behaviour and import millions more of these rapists/terrorists/jihadis from Islamic/African countries. Send them all back, ban Islam.
The only muslims we should allow to remain here are ex-muslims (those who leave Islam) and victims (esp girls who are at risk of FGM, being married off to pedophiles and so forth). But the ‘true believers’ should be repatriated.
With so many lone wolves now revealed and out of action, you’d expect the pack to be severely depleted. It’s not.
The potential of the ‘pack’ is around 1.6 billion, so don’t hold your breath waiting for it to be depleted.
Islam is a cancer on the body of humanity, as is ANY religion that calls for the enslavement and / or death of non-believers. Isn’t it sad that the thing organized religions do best is to kill human beings.
I agree whole-heartedly with your philosophy.
Very well stated, Wolff.
CAN AGREE WITH THAT . YOU DON’T NEED SOME PASTOR OR PRIEST TELLING YOU HOW TO TALK TO GOD . YOU CAN DO THAT ANYTIME OF THE DAY OR NIGHT 365 DAYS A YEAR .
“Organized religions excel at killing human beings” tell THAT to the tens of millions of people collectively slaughtered by atheists like Chairman Mao, Uncle Joe Stalin and Pol Pot.
Organized religion doesn’t have to worship the God that you recognize. Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot all rose to high positions where they wielded “God-like” power of life and death on the masses. That’s organized religion.
I am sick of hearing “Not all Muslims are evil.”
Until there is a 100% means of determining exactly who is and who is not evil for safety’s sake and for the lives of thousands of innocent non Muslims it must assumed that ALL Muslims are, indeed, evil and are willing and anxious to kill you.
As long as the despicable Koran and Islam itself is in existence evil will continue unabated.
What percentage of 150 billion Muslims are battling the evil in their religion?
What percentage of 150 billion Muslims are for the dictates of the unholy Koran?
Should have shot him with a robot… now some NY attorney will make millions off the back of taxpayers. Sad.
He should have been finished off then and there.
islam will not end. islam belongs in USA now. islam is in USA to stay. there are about 10 MILLIONS of muslims in USA and GROWING! muslims will be america’s new workers, chefs, taxidrivers, cops, politicians………, rulers
You left out PEDOPHILES, rapists, murderers, camel urine drinkers, goat humpers, dumbasses, idiots and the like…..
LOL ! Agree.
Left/Liberals feminists can celebrate this wonderful cultural diversity now at local muslim run restaurants https://tinyurl.com/yc87nbvr
Hey ed, let me guess who you’re describing….mmmh, I know! the arab-muzzie-islamofascists! That’s who. We don’t need any “evidence” or anything, we need to gather them all and SHOOT THEM – one bullet n the heart and the other in the head to make sure they don’t survive. But do it to ALL OF THEM otherwise they’ll re-multiply like the ameabas and, again, murder us instead of the other way around!!!
Pisslam, where the men are men and the sheep know it.
OH YES WE CAN BAN ISLAM . ALL WE NEED ARE THE RIGHT SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND LAW SUIT TO BRING INTO THE LIGHT WHAT ISLAM TRULY IS. A DEATH CULT BENT ON OVER THROWING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA . THEN IT CAN BE BANNED . HELL THERE IS ENOUGH EVIDENCE ALREADY TO HAVE ISLAM DECLARED AS A TERRORIST IDEOLOGY AND BANNED HERE IN THE USA .
Exactly right Sgt.! I’m a lawyer and you are 100% correct!
Thanks to Pres. Trump and his appointment of Justice Gorsuch, we now have a majority-tho’ a slim one-in the Court. God willing, Stevens and Ginsberg will soon be gone. When that happens, our President can appoint two more justices-and we-the-people will have the next 20-30 yrs. to eradicate the sickening “decisions” of the past.
The Court can “revisit” and overturn those decisions. MAGA!
GO TO HELL – oh my mistake, YOU’RE ALREADY THERE !
By the way, this has NOTHING to do with the color of the skin, the country you come from – or all that
“discrimination” nonsense – this is about your “god”. “There is no “god” but allah – well, you’re in hell, Get it?
Islam is already banned… https://conservativefiringl… All we have to do is implement standing law… how stupid are we? Either we use law to get them out, or they will be driven out at gunpoint when they attack America in ANY way…

Go and wipe the s h i t off your face! Don’t forget to drink your camel p i s s to cure you of
whatever ails you, according to your p r o f i l t h, s h i t is upon him.
Like any injured animal not worth saving, a quick head shot, a trip to the morgue, and life goes on.
MOST DEFINITELY!!!!!!! Why this stupid “silk gloves” treatment of the worst criminals???????? I can’t understand. I, who never ever kills as much as a mosquito, would, in a split second, kill one or more of these disgusting bloody criminals. But police and military and more authorities…will probably take this thing to a hospital! Very funny if it weren ‘t so pathetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he is mentally ill. nothing to do with islam nor the mosque he attends. anyway don’t provoke muslims if you know what’s good for you
The only “provoking” going on, is you with your goat. Your mental illness is quite acute. Don’t worry, you there is no cure for the effects of all that ingested goat spunk on your brain but, at least you’ll go out doing what you love. Cheers!
You’d better watch that kinda talk – AMERICANS will only take so much. It’s this comment: “if you know what’s good for you”. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE TALKING TO? Your “child”?
Do you SERIOUSLY expect ANYONE believe this has “nothing to do with islam” ?
Poke poke, jab jab, come on muslim boy, don’t keep a lady waiting.
Why aren’t officers carrying SHIELDS? I have called for all officers to carry SHIELDS. They can strap them on their back for even further protection when not needed.
Approaching a suspicious person with a shield is a great deterrent at NOT getting shot at, or in this case should the bomb go off, they AT LEAST might come home for dinner.
Implementing and using shields should be a part of training.
Plexiglass shields that are used during riots help against rocks and other debris that might be thrown by a rioter but are not effective against bullets or bombs. A bullet proof “shield” is worn in the form of a bulletproof vest to protect their vital organs but you can’t see trough that material and so trying to hold up a larger version of that while approaching a situation isn’t practical as they need to be holding up their firearm and they need to be able to see without obstruction.
They have to work on developing a material. But anything solid in front of you is better then nothing.
I am still for shields. And you can use them as peek-a-boo shields. They do not necessarily have to be clear.
If convicted, the muslim terrorist should receive life in solitary so he can’t recruit new jihadis in prison.
What did De Blasio had to say about this? “Workplace violence”, like his boss 0bama called the Fort Hood attack? Did he go to the hospital to visit the muslim scumbag and wish him well? Was he more concerned about the “islamophobia” backlash than about the possibility that hadn’t the muslim suicide bomber been as sloppy in bomb-design, dozens of unsuspecting subway commuters would have perished?
THEY SHOULD HAVE SHOT HIS NASTY GOAT RAPING ASS . HE WAS STILL A THREAT AND HIS BEING STILL ALIVE IS A THREAT .
Obama would have given him a medal!
If you really believe THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH – sorry – you’re OUT !
But was the muslum man drunk? That seems to be the excuse du jour for muslum terrorism these days…
Just one more worthless POS raghead, with a false religion and a false prophet. WTF, huh ?
Islam is already banned… https://conservativefiringline.com/banning-muslims-not-only-constitutional-but-its-the-law-since-1952/ All we have to do is implement standing law… how stupid are we? Either we use law to get them out, or they will be driven out at gunpoint when they attack America in ANY way…
Well done! Now it’s time to implement this LAW, fully and with vigor before any leftards try to change it.
