  • He was the only one seriously injured in the blast
  • Ullah was taken to Bellevue Hospital for serious burns and lacerations to his hands and abdomen
  • CNN reports that the bomb detonated prematurely and that if it had gone off as intended the damage could have been catastrophic
  • Ullah says he made the explosive himself last week, after reading instructions on the internet
  • The FBI has been swarming multiple addresses connected to Ullah in Brooklyn
  • Neighbors say they heard yelling and screaming coming for the apartment the last two nights and that Ullah was not a friendly person
  • Ullah told investigators that he carried out the attack as revenge for recent actions by Israelis against Muslim Palestinians in the Gaza Strip
