The parents of one of the two men accused in an attempted bombing near New York City’s Gracie Mansion are naturalized US citizens who immigrated from Afghanistan and own a suburban Pennsylvania home valued at about $2.25 million.
19‑year‑old Ibrahim Kayumi and 18‑year‑old Emir Balat, both from Pennsylvania, were arrested last week after improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were thrown during a protest outside the official residence of NYC’s mayor, Zohran Mamdani. The devices did not detonate, and no one was injured. The incident is being investigated as an ISIS‑inspired terrorism attempt.
