A man wearing a homemade pipe bomb set off the explosive in a busy transit hub on Monday morning, injuring five and setting off panic during the morning commute. Authorities said the explosion in a walkway below Port Authority Bus Terminal was an isolated attempted terrorist attack. Officials said the suspect, 27-year-old Akayed Ullah, pledged allegiance to ISIS and said he acted in response to Israeli actions in Gaza. The suspect was also stated to have had at least two devices, the device that detonated was a foot-long pipe that contained black powder, a battery, wiring, nails and screws.
