The Associated Press confirmed previously via a law enforcement official that Ullah had the explosive device strapped to himself when it exploded Monday morning in a busy New York City subway station. New York City officials noted that the device was fixed to Ullah’s body with zip ties.
WATCH:
Former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton told MSNBC the suspect was “possibly” a Bangladeshi immigrant to the U.S. who was inspired by the Islamic State. U.S. authorities are investigating the attack as a terrorism incident.
