Two men, identified as Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, are accused of bringing explosives to a protest held outside New York City’s mayoral mansion. A court complaint indicates that both suspects cited the Islamic State extremist group as an inspiration, and they are currently being held without bail.

A 19-year-old, arrested at 17, has been found guilty of constructing explosives and planning a series of attacks in the Philadelphia area, including a local Pride parade and nuclear power plants. Authorities say the conviction underlines the potential severity of domestic threats and the need for continued vigilance.
