WASHINGTON—A large portion of the Department of Homeland Security staff who investigate terrorism are not being paid due to the ongoing, partial government shutdown, The Daily Wire can first report.
Eighty percent of the Office of Intelligence &amp; Analysis is working without pay while they defend the United States on the home front, a Homeland Security spokesman told The Daily Wire. That department is the primary office tracking terrorism and threats, and specializes in sharing intelligence and analysis to &#8220;identify and mitigate threats to the homeland.&#8221;
“Democrats are shamelessly playing politics with national security,&#8221; the spokesman said.
President Trump on Monday responded to The Daily Wire&#8217;s reporting, saying, &#8220;The Democrats aren&#8217;t paying. &#8230; The Democrats are terrible. It&#8217;d be nice to get along, but for years, this has been going on. Not just with me. &#8230; We&#8217;re fighting big battles with a very tough enemy, and winning nicely — and we&#8217;re not allowed to have security in our country. &#8230; These are not people that love our country.&#8221;

Homeland Security&#8217;s terrorism prevention arm has taken on increased importance in recent weeks: there have been at least four attacks on Americans since the conflict in Iran began. Given the gravity of the threats to the United States at this time, the spokesman said, it is imperative that the agency be funded.
“DHS shares timely and actionable intelligence from the intelligence community to state and local governments to ensure they are aware of any emerging threats to keep their communities safe,&#8221; a spokesman explained. &#8220;With major events such as America 250 and the World Cup coming up, along with the numerous threats our nation must be prepared for, DHS needs to be fully funded as soon as possible to ensure the safety and security of the homeland.&#8221; 
The department has not been funded since February 14, about a month now, and the White House has slammed Democrats for shutting down the agency during a crucial time. TSA workers have gone without paychecks for weeks, causing staffing shortages and incredibly long security lines at airports across the nation. The shutdown also means that FEMA, the Coast Guard, and thousands of federal law enforcement officers are not being paid or given the resources they need, the White House says.
“The president has been clear — he wants the government to be open so it can best serve the American people,&#8221; White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said. &#8220;Regardless of the Democrats’ decision to play partisan games with homeland security funding, the Trump administration will not waver in our commitment to protect the American people.”
Last week, a gunman rammed his vehicle into Temple Israel in Michigan, the largest Reform Jewish congregation in the country, before opening fire. That gunman was 41-year-old Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, who entered the United States in 2011 on a visa for foreign-born spouses of citizens of the United States and then gained citizenship in 2016. Thankfully, no one was killed in this attack, except the shooter himself.

That attack closely followed a shooting at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, where a gunman identified by authorities as Mohamed Bailor Jalloh opened fire inside a university building, wounding two people and killing another. Jalloh, who was killed at the scene, is a former National Guard soldier who was previously convicted of supporting ISIS.
In New York City earlier this month, two men attempted to detonate explosive devices near Mayor Zohran Mamdani&#8217;s home, Gracie Mansion, during a protest in the area. The Justice Department charged both men with knowingly attempting to provide “material support or resources” to ISIS, calling them “alleged ISIS-inspired terrorists.&#8221; The suspects have admitted they were inspired by ISIS, according to the DOJ.
And on March 1, just as the conflict with Iran began, a shooter wearing a “Property of Allah” hoodie and a pro-Iran shirt opened fire on an Austin, Texas bar, killing three people and injuring more than a dozen others.
The Department of Homeland Security tells The Daily Wire that on the Saturday following the first strikes in Iran, its Office of Intelligence &amp; Analysis and the National Fusion Center Association co-hosted a call for over 1,450 state and local law enforcement officials, &#8220;providing threat updates and encouraging suspicious activity reporting.&#8221;
Experts who spoke with The Daily Wire&#8217;s Cameron Arcand warn of serious risks associated with the continued shutdown.
“We’re dealing with a heightened threat environment right now, and we need the federal government security capabilities to be firing on all cylinders,” said Nathan Sales, former special presidential envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIS.
Sales warns that now is not the time to be &#8220;playing politics with national security, adding: “If you’re a Hezbollah operative and you want to carry out an attack in the United States, you have to cross the border, and that’s a DHS responsibility.&#8221;

EXCLUSIVE: Homeland Security Terrorism Investigators Are Going Without Pay

Terrorism

A violent synagogue terror attack in Michigan is taking on an even darker dimension after new intelligence revealed a chilling connection: the attacker’s brother was a Hezbollah terrorist commander responsible for rocket attacks on Israeli civilians.
According to the official Israel Defense Forces social media account, Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Muhammad Ghazali oversaw weapons operations inside the group’s Badr Unit, a branch responsible for launching hundreds of rockets toward Israeli civilian areas during the war.
His brother, Ayman Muhammad Ghazali, carried out the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-respond-to-reports-of-active-shooter-as-michigan-synagogue-goes-up-in-smoke">terror attack </a>in Michigan on Thursday, where <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-trained-michigan-temple-how-to-stop-a-shooter-just-weeks-before-attack">armed synagogue security guards </a>exchanged gunfire with him during the confrontation. His body was later found burned inside the vehicle he rammed into the building.
Israeli forces reportedly eliminated Ibrahim Ghazali in an Israeli Air Force strike on a Hezbollah military structure, just days before the synagogue attack unfolded in the United States.
The newly revealed family connection is now prompting investigators to take a closer look at whether the Michigan attacker had deeper ties to the Iran-backed terror group.
Hezbollah is designated by the United States as a foreign terrorist organization. The group has spent decades building global networks while carrying out attacks against Israeli and Western targets.
Authorities have not yet said whether the terrorist had direct operational ties to Hezbollah or whether the attack was carried out independently. But the discovery that his brother served as a weapons commander inside the group is likely to intensify scrutiny around the case.
The disturbing link comes as Operation Epic Fury — the ongoing U.S. military campaign targeting Iran’s military infrastructure and proxy networks — has intensified in recent days, with American and Israeli forces coordinating strikes aimed at weakening the regime’s military capabilities. The joint effort has targeted missile systems, military facilities, and infrastructure tied to Iran’s nuclear and weapons programs.
In a post on Truth Social, President Donald Trump said U.S. Central Command carried out one of the most powerful bombing raids in Middle East history, “totally obliterating” military targets on Kharg Island, which he described as Iran’s “crown jewel.” The island serves as a critical hub for the regime’s operations in the Persian Gulf. Trump said the strike deliberately spared the island’s oil infrastructure but warned that could change if Iran attempts to interfere with shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

Operation Epic Fury

European authorities are investigating an overnight explosion that struck a Jewish school in Amsterdam, the latest in what officials say is a troubling string of Islamic attacks targeting Jewish communities across the West.
The blast struck the exterior wall of a Jewish school in the Buitenveldert neighborhood, widely regarded as the Dutch capital’s modern Jewish quarter and home to synagogues, kosher restaurants, and religious schools. Authorities said the explosion caused minor structural damage, charring part of the outer wall and damaging a rainpipe, but no injuries were reported.
Amsterdam Mayor Femke Halsema <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jewish-school-amsterdam-attack-explosion/">condemned</a> the incident as a deliberate act of intimidation against the city’s Jewish population. “This is a cowardly act of aggression towards the Jewish community,” Halsema said, adding that additional security will be deployed around Jewish institutions throughout the city.
Dutch police say investigators have obtained images of the suspect believed to have detonated the device, though no arrests have been announced.
The incident comes amid a surge of antisemitic attacks in Europe. Earlier this week, an explosive device ignited a fire at a synagogue entrance in Rotterdam, the Netherlands’ second-largest city. <a href="https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2026/03/13/dutch-police-arrest-four-over-rotterdam-synagogue-fire_6751421_4.html#:~:text=On%20Monday%2C%20an%20explosion%20shook,potentially%20jihadist%20video%20claiming%20responsibility.">Police later arrested four teenage suspects</a> nearby after officers spotted a vehicle driving erratically near another synagogue.
In <a href="https://www.politico.eu/article/belgium-liege-synagogue-antisemitic-attack/">Liège, Belgium</a>, a synagogue was also struck by an explosion earlier in the week, an attack local officials described as antisemitic.
Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten said the Amsterdam bombing would prompt renewed security consultations with Jewish leaders. “There must be no place for antisemitism in the Netherlands,” Jetten said in a post on <a href="https://x.com/MinPres/status/2032724208963186982">social media</a>. “I understand the anger and fear and will quickly engage in talks with the Jewish community. They must always feel safe in our country.”
The European incidents come as authorities in the United States are also grappling with a series of threats and attacks linked to extremist ideologies targeting Jewish institutions.
However, the trend of antisemitic and general Islamist violence was not contained to just Europe. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-respond-to-reports-of-active-shooter-as-michigan-synagogue-goes-up-in-smoke?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Police+Respond+To+Reports+Of+Active+Shooter+As+Michigan+Synagogue+Goes+Up+In+Smoke">In Michigan</a>, a gunman rammed a vehicle into Temple Israel, the largest Reform Jewish congregation in the United States, before opening fire. The attacker was killed in a shootout with armed security, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, which described the incident as a targeted act of violence against the Jewish community.
Authorities said the synagogue’s security team engaged the attacker after he drove a vehicle through the building’s entrance, sparking a fire and filling parts of the synagogue with smoke. No congregants were killed, though one security guard was injured after being struck by the attacker’s vehicle.
The Michigan attack came shortly after a separate act of terrorism at <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/gunman-opens-fire-injures-two-at-old-dominion-university">Old Dominion University</a> in Norfolk, Virginia, where a gunman identified as Mohammad Bailor Jalloh opened fire inside an academic building. Three people were wounded and one later died from their injuries. Officials said Jalloh, a former National Guard soldier previously convicted of supporting the terror group Islamic State, was killed at the scene.
Then earlier in March, there was an attempted bombing in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-opens-terror-probe-after-homemade-bombs-in-nyc-linked-to-isis">New York City</a> in which two suspects deployed improvised explosive devices outside Gracie Mansion during competing protests. Authorities said the devices contained triacetone triperoxide, or TATP, an explosive compound frequently used in terrorist attacks.
According to investigators, the suspects allegedly admitted they were inspired by ISIS propaganda. The case has been taken over by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force.
Security officials have <a href="https://www.euronews.com/2026/03/12/iran-war-fuels-further-threats-to-europes-jewish-communities-experts-warn">warned</a> that Jewish institutions remain frequent targets for extremists, particularly during periods of heightened geopolitical tension involving Israel and Iran. For Jewish communities in Amsterdam and beyond, the latest explosion underscores fears that synagogues, schools, and community centers remain symbolic targets for violent actors.
Authorities say the investigation into the Amsterdam attack remains ongoing.

The Department of Justice charged the man accused of selling a firearm to the Old Dominion University shooter, who had already been convicted of supporting terrorism.
Feds charged Kenya Chapman Friday for allegedly carrying out the sale to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/old-dominion-university-gunman-identified-as-ex-national-guardsman-turned-isis-operative?author=Jennie+Taer&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Old+Dominion+University+Gunman+Identified+As+Ex-National+Guardsman+Turned+ISIS+Operative">Mohamed Bailor Jalloh</a>, a former National Guard soldier who was previously convicted of supporting ISIS, but released early in 2024 after completing a drug program, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/old-dominion-university-shooting-rotc-3e9049d15354b33bba37035a98a5299f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the Associated Press.
Jalloh, 36, killed an ROTC professor, who was a decorated war hero, during the Thursday attack. Two other service members were injured before heroic students intervened to subdue him.
Chapman told authorities that he had no idea Jalloh planned to carry out the attack, the news outlet reported. He faces charges for making a false statement during a firearm purchase and engaging in the business of firearms dealing without a license.
Chapman said he stole the gun from a car in Newport News, Virginia, about a year ago, before he recently sold it to Jalloh, the Associated Press reported. After the pair met at work, Jalloh told Chapman he needed a gun for protection as a delivery driver. Chapman said he knew Jalloh was previously incarcerated, but claimed he didn&#8217;t know of his past felony conviction.
It&#8217;s not the first time Chapman has been the subject of a federal investigation, according to the Associated Press. In 2021, federal authorities issued Chapman a &#8220;straw purchaser warning letter.&#8221;
Chapman later sent an apology letter admitting to selling guns to buyers who intended to give the firearms to people who can&#8217;t legally purchase them, per the AP.
The serial number on the gun Jalloh allegedly used Thursday was partially destroyed. Authorities combed through phone records, finding that Chapman and Jalloh had multiple calls in the week before the shooting.
For his terrorism case, Jalloh was sentenced to 11 years behind bars and an additional five years of supervised release. He was released early in 2024 for completing a drug program, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/jalloh-old-dominion-university-shooting-islamic-state-b257727b0167982fbffafae2eb8548fd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the AP.
He was convicted after traveling to Africa with his father in 2015, where he met with an ISIS recruiter, according to NBC4. He later went to Sierra Leone to stay with the group’s facilitator and made plans to visit Libya to join the terrorist organization, but that never happened.
He also went to Niger to join ISIS and even boarded a truck full of other terror recruits, but bailed out after 18 hours, according to NBC4.
At one point, he sent $500 to a man he believed was an ISIS member, who was actually an undercover FBI agent.
In October 2016, Jalloh pleaded guilty to attempting to provide material support to ISIS.
Jalloh, who is a naturalized American citizen from Sierra Leone, stormed the ROTC classroom Thursday, shooting the professor several times, according to the New York Post.
The instructor died at the hospital, according to the news outlet.
&#8220;A group of brave students &#8230; stepped in and subdued&#8221; Jalloh, FBI Director Kash Patel said Thursday.
“The FBI is now investigating the shooting as an act of terrorism. Our Joint Terrorism Task Force is fully engaged, embedded with local authorities, and providing all resources necessary in the investigation,” Patel said.
The attack happened hours before a man rammed a vehicle into a Michigan synagogue and opened fire on the building before meeting his demise.

On Thursday, Mohamed Bailor Jalloh — an ex-National Guard soldier previously convicted of terrorism charges — opened fire at Old Dominion University, killing a decorated service member.
Jalloh, originally from Sierra Leone, is the latest naturalized American citizen to commit a violent attack in the United States. There have been at least three attacks carried out by naturalized citizens in the last two weeks, leading many to call for a change to the naturalization process that allows these attackers into the country.
It&#8217;s not that simple.
&#8220;If a naturalized U.S. citizen commits a heinous act of terrorism, that&#8217;s not a way to take away somebody&#8217;s [citizenship],&#8221; immigration attorney Matthew Kolken told The Daily Wire. &#8220;They&#8217;ve done everything right from an immigration standpoint.&#8221;
&#8220;The law does not allow you to just take away someone&#8217;s citizenship. They can be convicted of a crime and go to jail for the rest of their life, but they&#8217;ll die a United States citizen,&#8221; Kolken said.
Jalloh, for instance, was sentenced to 11 years in prison with another five years of supervised release in his terrorism case and was let out early in December 2024, according to the New York Post.
If the feds wanted to denaturalize Jalloh, they would&#8217;ve had to have found evidence of &#8220;fraud&#8221; tied to his immigration case.
&#8220;We&#8217;re not talking about a crime, we&#8217;re talking about an immigration law violation,&#8221; Kolken said.
&#8220;Even though you want to the United States wants to denaturalize somebody because they engaged in an act of terrorism and murdered people in this country, the way that you would effectuate a denaturalization is if you discover a fraud that was not disclosed in furtherance of their immigration journey,&#8221; Kolken said.

In addition to committing immigration fraud, an individual can become denaturalized if they join the Communist Party or another &#8220;subversive organization&#8221; within five years of gaining citizenship, George Fishman, senior fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, said.
But Fishman warned that denaturalization is &#8220;tough,&#8221; adding that in Jalloh&#8217;s case, &#8220;unless the government can come up with evidence that he lied, he concealed a material fact during his naturalization, I&#8217;m not sure there&#8217;s really a viable way forward.&#8221;
Naturalized citizens can also lose their citizenship if they are discharged from the military &#8220;under other than honorable conditions&#8221; after obtaining citizenship based on their military service, according to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. They must have been discharged before having served honorably for &#8220;at least five years.&#8221;
The federal government naturalized 818,500 new citizens in fiscal year 2024, which ran between October 2023 and September 2024, according to federal data.
With the mountain of cases, it may be difficult to go back and audit those who&#8217;ve already been naturalized, Fishman said, adding that the federal government should &#8220;be much more deliberative in deciding whether to naturalize someone in the first place.&#8221;
For any future cases, Congress &#8220;could &#8230; toughen the standards for naturalization,&#8221; Fishman said.
Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt (R) has introduced legislation to make it easier for the United States to denaturalize immigrants who pose a national security threat.
His proposed legislation, the Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation (SCAM) Act, seeks to denaturalize those who commit welfare fraud, aggravated felonies, and espionage. It also applies to individuals with ties to drug cartels or foreign terrorist groups.
&#8220;We must denaturalize those who shouldn&#8217;t be here,&#8221; Schmitt said on X Thursday.

The man who targeted Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, on Thursday has been identified as Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, a Lebanese national who became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2016 under the Obama administration, the Department of Homeland Security <a href="https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/2032250045756498058">confirmed</a> to The Daily Wire.
Ghazali ran his car into Temple Israel, the largest Reform Judaism congregation in the United States, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-respond-to-reports-of-active-shooter-as-michigan-synagogue-goes-up-in-smoke">opened fire</a> with a rifle on Thursday. He was pronounced dead at the scene after the synagogue&#8217;s security engaged him with gunfire.
Ghazali was born in Lebanon in 1985 and first entered the United States in 2011 on an immigrant visa as the spouse of a U.S. citizen, the Department of Homeland Security said. After he applied for naturalization in October 2015, he was granted citizenship in February 2016. 
One security guard was injured as a result of being struck by the attacker’s vehicle, but is in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-respond-to-reports-of-active-shooter-as-michigan-synagogue-goes-up-in-smoke">stable condition</a>. Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard confirmed that no one else was injured in the attack. Temple Israel <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-respond-to-reports-of-active-shooter-as-michigan-synagogue-goes-up-in-smoke">runs</a> a drive-thru food pantry on Thursdays and has a preschool that was in session. The synagogue said on Thursday that “all 140 students in our Susan and Harold Loss Early Childhood Center, our amazing staff, our courageous teachers, and our heroic security personnel are all accounted for and safe.”
The attack comes amid a heightened concern over terror attacks after President Donald Trump launched &#8220;Operation Epic Fury&#8221; in Iran. Abroad, at least 11 U.S. soldiers have been killed during the operation, with about 140 others wounded.
Trump was briefed on Wednesday on the possibility of Iranian sleeper cells being activated in the United States. The president responded, “We know where most of them are. We have our eyes on all of them — I think.&#8221; 
This week alone, two men who pledged their allegiance to ISIS attempted to throw a bomb into a crowd of protesters, and at least one person was killed in another shooting at Old Dominion University.

U.S.

Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Shah was identified as the instructor killed by the terrorist shooter who opened fire at Old Dominion University in Virginia on Thursday.
Shah was fatally shot by terrorist Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a former National Guard soldier who was previously convicted of supporting ISIS, according to multiple reports. Jalloh, who is a naturalized American citizen from Sierra Leone, stormed a classroom and asked if it was an ROTC class, <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/03/12/us-news/old-dominion-university-gunman-idd-as-former-national-guardsman-convicted-of-plotting-attack-to-support-islamic-state/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the New York Post.
After someone confirmed that it was an ROTC course, Jalloh shot the professor several times, the news outlet reported.
Shah was a decorated military hero who served the United States in major war zones.
Shah enlisted in the Army in 2003 as an Aviation Operations Specialist and later obtained the rank of sergeant, <a href="https://www.odu.edu/armyrotc/about/cadre/professor-chair" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the university. During his time enlisted, Shah served in the active-duty Army, Army Reserve, and Virginia Army National Guard.
He also deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and a rotation to Atlantic Resolve.
Since his Old Dominion commissioning, Shah earned his Army Aviation Senior Aviator wings after flying more than 1,200 hours in three different aircraft and completing over 600 combat flight hours, according to the school.
Shah last served as the Brigade S3 in the 3rd Combat Aviation Brigade, Hunter Army Airfield, Savannah, Georgia. Before that, he served as the Squadron S3 in the 3-17 Air Cavalry Squadron overseeing modernization efforts for attack helicopters.
The university described Shah as &#8220;an advocate for minority and veteran business education and involvement&#8221; who &#8220;holds a variety of accolades including combat heroism awards and diversity and inclusion honors.&#8221;
&#8220;Brandon also volunteers his time to support the less fortunate,&#8221; his university profile reads.

terrorist attack

Virginia

The gunman who opened fire at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, on Thursday has been identified as Mohamed Bailor Jalloh, a former National Guard soldier who was previously convicted of supporting ISIS, according to multiple reports.
Jalloh, 36, discussed plans to carry out a Fort Hood-style attack with a government informant he believed was an ISIS terrorist, <a href="https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/ex-national-guard-member-from-virginia-sentenced-to-11-years-for-terrorism-after-supporting-isis/35484/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to NBC4 Washington. Jalloh was sentenced to 11 years behind bars and an additional five years of supervised release.
He was let out early in December 2024, <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/03/12/us-news/old-dominion-university-gunman-idd-as-former-national-guardsman-convicted-of-plotting-attack-to-support-islamic-state/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the New York Post.
Jalloh traveled to Africa with his father in 2015, where he met with an ISIS recruiter, according to NBC4. That same year, he went to Sierra Leone to stay with the group&#8217;s facilitator and planned to go to Libya to join the terrorist organization, but that never happened.
At one point, he ventured to Niger to join ISIS and even boarded a truck full of other terror recruits, but bailed out after 18 hours, according to NBC4.
Jalloh praised the gunman who killed five soldiers in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in July 2015, to the informant, <a href="https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/former-army-national-guard-member-arrested-attempting-provide-material-support-isil" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according</a> to the Department of Justice. He also sent $500 to a man he believed was an ISIS member, who was actually an undercover FBI agent.
He pleaded guilty in October 2015 to attempting to provide material support to ISIS.
Jalloh, who is a naturalized American citizen from Sierra Leone, stormed into a classroom on Thursday and asked if it was an ROTC course, according to the New York Post. When someone confirmed that it was, he opened fire, shooting the professor several times.
The professor, a retired military officer, died at the hospital, according to the news outlet. One of the students heroically stabbed Jalloh to death to stop him from harming others.
FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed on X that one person is dead and two others were wounded in the shooting.
The shooter, he <a href="https://x.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/2032183663350214858">said</a>, &#8220;is now deceased thanks to a group of brave students who stepped in and subdued him – actions that undoubtedly saved lives along with the quick response of law enforcement.&#8221;
&#8220;The FBI is now investigating the shooting as an act of terrorism. Our Joint Terrorism Task Force is fully engaged, embedded with local authorities, and providing all resources necessary in the investigation,&#8221; Patel said.
Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll <a href="https://x.com/SecArmy/status/2032170679404024043" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the injured victims were &#8220;Army personnel.&#8221;
The shooting occurred hours before an attacker rammed a vehicle into a Michigan synagogue and opened fire on the building.

Shooting

One of the suspects accused of throwing improvised explosive devices (IEDs) at protesters outside the New York City mayor’s residence purchased materials used in the attack just days beforehand at a Pennsylvania fireworks store, according to a report.
Emir Balat, 18, allegedly bought a roll of safety fuse at a Phantom Fireworks store in Penndel, Pennsylvania, on March 2, five days before the incident near Gracie Mansion, the official residence of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, according to surveillance video obtained by CBS News.
The footage reportedly shows Balat entering the store at 12:46 p.m. and purchasing a 20-foot roll of safety fuse for $6.89.
“Coming in and buying that was uneventful,” Phantom Fireworks Vice President and General Counsel William Weimer told <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/video-appears-to-show-gracie-mansion-bomb-suspect-purchasing-fuse-pennsylvania-fireworks-store/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7e&amp;linkId=917775073">CBS News</a>. “Had he bought 20 rolls of fuse, it might have raised eyebrows. But buying one or two items of anything in this store is almost a nonevent.”

The FBI is investigating the attack as a potential act of terrorism. In a <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/two-isis-supporters-charged-attempting-detonate-explosive-devices-during-protests-outside">statement</a> on Monday, FBI Director Kash Patel said, “The defendants allegedly support ISIS and tried to follow the path of that deadly group by attempting to detonate explosive devices in a crowd. The FBI and our partners have no tolerance for terrorist organizations or those inspired by them to engage in attacks. We are committed to stopping acts of violence and will hold accountable those who seek to harm our citizens.”
The FBI contacted the company’s national security director on Monday, Weimer said.
Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, both residents of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, are accused of traveling to New York City on Saturday to participate in a counter-protest against an anti-Islam demonstration organized by influencer Jake Lang.
Video from the scene shows Balat throwing an ignited device toward police near the mayor’s residence. It has since been identified as an IED.
According to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/explosives-protest-mamdani-434928cf6fa8771bc3dfa5c260ee7b03">Associated Press</a>, the first device struck a barrier and extinguished itself near officers. Balat allegedly ran away, retrieved a second device from Kayumi, lit it, and began running with it before dropping it.
Law enforcement sources told CBS News the devices consisted of sports-drink bottles containing explosive material placed inside glass jars and packed with fragmentation such as nuts and bolts.
The investigation has expanded beyond the initial attack, with law enforcement probing whether additional explosive materials were staged near the scene.
A day after the attempted bombing outside Gracie Mansion, the New York City Police Department <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nyc-terror-scare-deepens-as-bomb-squad-races-to-new-threat-near-mayors-mansion?author=Drew+Berkemeyer&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=6&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=NYC+Terror+Scare+Deepens+As+Bomb+Squad+Races+To+New+Threat+Near+Mayor’s+Mansion">shut down nearby streets</a> after officers discovered another suspicious device inside a parked vehicle on East End Avenue, only blocks from the mayor’s residence.
Officials later determined the device did not pose an immediate threat, but investigators said the discovery underscored the seriousness of the incident and the possibility that additional materials tied to the suspects could still be uncovered.
Authorities have also uncovered additional evidence linked to the two suspects in Pennsylvania. During searches connected to the case, investigators located <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/more-explosives-found-in-storage-unit-linked-to-nyc-terror-suspects?author=Virginia+Kruta&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=More+Explosives+Found+In+Storage+Unit+Linked+To+NYC+Terror+Suspects">explosive residue in a storage unit</a> tied to the suspects and conducted controlled detonations as part of the investigation, according to federal officials.
Prosecutors said Balat later told police he was inspired by ISIS and wanted the attack to be “even bigger” than the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013. Balat and Kayumi have been charged with five counts related to terrorism and possession of explosive materials. Federal prosecutors say an indictment is expected.

Pennsylvania

Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, are accused of attempting to throw homemade bombs into a crowd of people and police officers outside Gracie Mansion in New York City on Saturday.
Officers quickly arrested the duo after one of the bombs was thrown. By Saturday evening, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch addressed the public, confirming that the devices were “a bit smaller than a football, [appeared] to be a jar wrapped in black tape, importantly with nuts, bolts, and screws along with a hobby fuse that could be lit.”
The devices — in Balat’s own words — were intended “to carry out an attack bigger than the Boston Marathon,” which Balat noted caused “only three deaths.” From Pennsylvania, Balat and Kayumi reportedly traveled to New York City to carry out their attack. After Balat was arrested on Saturday, authorities located a car registered to Balat’s family member and found footage of the vehicle crossing the George Washington Bridge into New York City at 11:36 a.m. on Sunday.
Balat and Kayumi lived <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/alleged-isis-inspired-suburban-terrorists-lived-10-miles-apart-were-strangers-before-nyc-attack-lawyer">ten miles</a> from each other in Pennsylvania. Balat is enrolled at Neshaminy High School in Langhorne, Pennsylvania. Kayumi graduated from Council Rock High School in 2024. Balat’s lawyer, Mehdi Essmidi, claimed to reporters that the men did not know each other prior to the attack: “They’re strangers, as far as I know.” He added that they are in different age groups.
An official from Neshaminy High School shared with The Daily Wire said Balat was enrolled in the district’s virtual academy and had not attended in-person classes since September. Essmidi said, “He’s finishing school remotely because he has only like three classes left to do.”
When arrested, both Balat and Kayumi referred to ISIS in recorded post-arrest statements. Balat pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State on a piece of paper at the police detention center, and Kayumi said he was affiliated with ISIS and watched ISIS propaganda on his phone.
Authorities have since searched Balat and Kayumi’s devices, as well as their homes. Balat lived in Langhorne in a home estimated to be worth <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-suspected-nyc-terrorist-flashes-isis-salute-three-times?author=Brecca+Stoll&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=WATCH%3A+Suspected+NYC+Terrorist+Flashes+ISIS+Salute+Three+Times">$653,000,</a> and Kayumi lived in a home worth <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-suspected-nyc-terrorist-flashes-isis-salute-three-times?author=Brecca+Stoll&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=WATCH%3A+Suspected+NYC+Terrorist+Flashes+ISIS+Salute+Three+Times">$2.25 million</a>. It is unclear whether Kayumi continued to live in that home after he graduated from Council Rock.
The FBI also searched a storage facility in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, on South Flowers Mill Road. The FBI said it was conducting a court-authorized search in connection with Balat and Kayumi’s terrorism case.
Kayumi’s parents were <a href="https://www.phillyburbs.com/story/news/local/2026/03/09/are-terror-suspects-emir-balat-and-ibrahim-kayumi-us-citizens-bucks-county-gracie-mansion-protest/89069831007/">originally from</a> Afghanistan and became naturalized citizens in 2004 and 2009.
Both Balat and Kayumi <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fbi-investigation-terrorism-explosive-device-new-york-city-mayor-mamdani-gracie-mansion/">traveled internationally</a> in the last two years. Balat left the United States for about four months, traveling to Istanbul, Turkey, from May 6, 2025, to August 26, 2025. In January of this year, Balat left the country, again traveling to Turkey. Like Balat, Kayumi also went to Istanbul, but in July and August of 2024. He also traveled to Saudi Arabia in March of that year.

Everything We Know About The Suspected NYC Terrorists

Turkey

CNN attempted to do a little damage control on Tuesday after a post coddling two New York City terror suspects — both of whom swore allegiance to the Islamic State after being taken into custody — drew fierce criticism.
The post, which was deleted on Tuesday amid the backlash, read, &#8220;Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could’ve been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather. But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change as the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs.&#8221;
The network was roundly mocked for characterizing the pair — one of whom said his goal had been to execute an attack more deadly than the Boston Marathon bombing that killed three in 2013 — as regular teenagers who&#8217;d just happened to pick Saturday to throw improvised explosive devices (IEDs) into a crowd of civilians.
&#8220;Classic Pennsylvania teenager behavior: throwing IEDs and pledging allegiance to ISIS. Boys will be boys!&#8221; The Daily Wire&#8217;s Michael Knowles commented.

Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) <a href="https://x.com/SenEricSchmitt/status/2031344100318863724">added</a>, &#8220;CNN got this headline wrong. It should be: &#8216;Two radical Islamic terrorists came to NYC pledging allegiance to ISIS with bombs meant to kill Americans&#8217;&#8230;There. Fixed it for you.&#8221;
&#8220;What on Earth? CNN acts like they were sightseeing and accidentally found some bombs. NO. They bought chemicals, made the bombs and went to NYC to commit a terrorist attack,&#8221; another comment <a href="https://x.com/JimHansonDC/status/2031345695567835363">said</a>. &#8220;CNN is an unfunny version of the Onion designed to misinform.&#8221;
Another post from <a href="https://x.com/HonestReporting/status/2031321288912797744">@honestreporting</a> criticized the outlet for &#8220;infantilizing&#8221; the people who carry out violent crimes driven by ideology.
&#8220;Wow. ISIS-inspired perpetrators commit a literal terrorist act, and this is what CNN comes up with? Oh, those poor &#8216;Pennsylvania teenagers,&#8217; whose lives have &#8216;drastically changed&#8217; because they made the conscious decision to throw bombs. When will the media stop employing narrative storytelling to infantilize perpetrators of ideologically motivated crimes?&#8221;
After deleting the post, CNN attempted to explain it away with a follow-up: &#8220;A post regarding the two individuals arrested for throwing homemade bombs outside of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home failed to reflect the gravity of the incident thereby breaching the editorial standards we require for all our reporting. It has therefore been deleted.&#8221;
Edits were also made to the story itself, which had initially included the same descriptions of the perpetrators. The accompanying <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/10/us/mamdani-gracie-mansion-protest-what-we-know">editor&#8217;s note</a> read, &#8220;A previous version of this story included a summary that does not reflect the gravity of the incident, thereby breaching the editorial standards we require for all our reporting. It therefore has been changed.&#8221;
A post from Brian Stelter&#8217;s &#8220;Reliable Sources&#8221; newsletter conceded that the X post was problematic but claimed that &#8220;the story itself was solid&#8221; — but critics pointed out that the post had been lifted directly from the story.

Additional explosives were reportedly found in a storage unit that was searched in connection with the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mamdani-breaks-silence-after-nypd-confirms-bomb-was-used-in-terror-attempt">terror suspects</a> who threw improvised explosive devices (IEDs) at a group of protesters outside New York City&#8217;s Gracie Mansion on Saturday.
FBI agents searched the storage unit in Middletown Township, Pennsylvania, on Monday as part of the ongoing investigation, and local authorities shared information about what had been discovered in a Tuesday Facebook post.
<iframe loading="lazy" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FMTPD.org%2Fposts%2Fpfbid0aSkpisx5vPtV8fCf27HU1ojHLnJ9ZepC2TxoVeuCwoJrdsoBXK2EjPLhumcE7iabl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="275" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
&#8220;Update Regarding Overnight Activity at Local Storage Facility,&#8221; the Middletown Township Police Department titled the post, adding, &#8220;Last night, residents in the area of the storage facility on S. Flowers Mill Road may have heard several loud bangs during the overnight hours.&#8221;
&#8220;As part of the ongoing federal investigation that took place yesterday, the FBI safely disposed of explosive materials that were recovered during the execution of search warrants. These controlled detonations were conducted by trained personnel and were carried out in a controlled manner,&#8221; the post continued. &#8220;While the noise may have been startling to some residents, there was no danger to the public at any time. The operation at the storage facility has now concluded and the location has returned to normal operations. We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding while federal authorities conducted this investigation.&#8221;
Middletown Township, a suburb that sits just northwest of Philadelphia, is located in Bucks County — the same general area from which bombing suspects Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, had come.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fbi-opens-terror-probe-after-homemade-bombs-in-nyc-linked-to-isis">FBI&#8217;s Joint Terrorism Task Force</a> has taken over the investigation after both suspects pledged allegiance to and claimed they&#8217;d gotten their inspiration from the Islamic State. According to authorities, Balat also told law enforcement that he&#8217;d intended to inflict more damage than the Boston Marathon bombers, lamenting the fact that they had only killed three people.
The type of explosives used in the bombs recovered on the scene in New York City, Triacetone Triperoxide (TATP), is favored in terrorist circles and has been nicknamed &#8220;Mother of Satan.&#8221; Reports have not indicated whether the explosives detonated by the FBI at the Pennsylvania storage unit were the same type.
New York City has been at the center of several scares in recent days, with law enforcement blocking off part of the Upper East Side on Sunday when a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nyc-terror-scare-deepens-as-bomb-squad-races-to-new-threat-near-mayors-mansion">suspicious device</a> was found in a vehicle near where the suspects had first attacked.
On Monday, Attorney General Pam Bondi <a href="https://x.com/AGPamBondi/status/2031057686675206571">announced</a> charges against Balat and Kayumi, whom she called &#8220;the two alleged ISIS-inspired terrorists,&#8221; adding, &#8220;We will not allow ISIS&#8217;s poisonous, anti-American ideology to threaten this nation.&#8221;
