"Police said that Kayumi, 19, and his friend Emir Balat, 18, traveled from their Bucks County enclave to attend a counter-protest against right-wing nut Jake Lang's anti-Muslim protest outside the mayor's residence. The pair allegedly hurled homemade bombs packed with a volatile explosive favored by international terrorists known as "Mother of Satan," sources have said."
"Kayumi's parents became naturalized citizens between 2004 and 2009 after leaving war-torn Afghanistan, Fox News reported. They appear to own a convenience store, records show. Balat's parents hailed from Turkey and became naturalized US citizens in 2017, according to Fox News. Their home is an idyllic 3,200-square-foot, two-story house worth a respectable $653,000, records show."
"The alleged terrorist act contrasts with the quiet, even well-to-do, suburban upbringing of both Kayumi and Balat. Alleged bomber Ibrahim Kayumi's family home is a 5,800-square-foot manse with six bedrooms and five bedrooms in scenic Newtown, Pennsylvania, records show."
Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, and Emir Balat, 18, are accused of throwing homemade explosives containing a volatile compound called "Mother of Satan" near Gracie Mansion during a counter-protest. The NYPD is investigating the incident as ISIS-inspired terrorism. Kayumi's family owns a $2.25 million, 5,800-square-foot home in Pennsylvania after his parents immigrated from Afghanistan and became naturalized citizens. Balat's family, originally from Turkey, owns a $653,000 home. Both teenagers come from well-established, financially successful immigrant families. Balat allegedly displayed an ISIS salute while being escorted from police custody. Both face federal charges.
