The FBI found explosive residue in a Pennsylvania storage unit linked to an ISIS-inspired attack by two men accused of attempting to detonate improvised explosive devices (IED) outside the New York City mayor’s home, the agency said Tuesday.

After their arrests last weekend, the two suspects, 18-year-old Emir Balat and 19-year-old Ibrahim Kayumi, told law enforcement they were inspired by the terrorist group, law enforcement and a criminal complaint said.
