ISIS-linked bomb plot alleged at NYC protest outside Gracie Mansion, two teens accused

Two teenagers, Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, are charged in an ISIS-linked bombing attempt during an anti-Islam protest outside Gracie Mansion, with dash-cam footage purportedly showing them discussing casualties and how many people to kill. Prosecutors say they traveled from Pennsylvania to New York, planned to detonate improvised devices, and face multiple counts including conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and use of a weapon of mass destruction; they are due for arraignment on April 15.

FBI ties Michigan synagogue attack to Hezbollah-inspired plot by Ghazali

The FBI says Ayman Ghazali, a Lebanon-born US citizen, carried out a Hezbollah-inspired attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, ramming a truck into the building and then shooting himself as the vehicle burned. Investigators found a pattern of Hezbollah- and Iranian-related online content, including searches for Israeli gatherings and a pre-attack video in which he vowed to kill as many as possible; he had attempted to obtain a weapon and ultimately bought an AR-style rifle with magazines and ammo. No one inside the synagogue was injured, though the case involved extensive digital and eyewitness work with hundreds of items analyzed and more than 100 interviews conducted. The incident occurred amid broader regional hostilities linked to the US-Israel war on Iran.

Feds tie Michigan synagogue attack to Hezbollah-inspired terrorism

Federal officials for the first time labeled the March 12 attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan, as terrorism inspired by Hezbollah. Ayman Ghazali rammed an explosive-laden truck into the synagogue and killed himself after a firefight with security. Ghazali, a Lebanon-born naturalized U.S. citizen, had brothers who were Hezbollah members killed in a March 5 Israeli drone strike. Investigators found pro-Hezbollah content and martyrdom rhetoric in his online activity. Officials say the incident was a targeted attack on the Jewish community and plan increased security around Passover.

Paris bomb plot halted outside US bank, anti-terror probe launched

French police thwarted an apparent bomb attack outside a Bank of America branch in Paris, arresting a man as he prepared to ignite a device made from a five‑litre liquid container and about 650 grams of powder; a second suspect fled. The counter-terrorism prosecutor’s office has opened an anti-terror probe, with Paris judicial police and DGSI leading the investigation. The interior minister praised the rapid response, and authorities note the case appears to involve a “terrorist criminal conspiracy” amid heightened vigilance in Europe, with the suspect allegedly recruited via Snapchat for around 600 euros and linked to broader tensions targeting US/Israeli interests.

CBS News reports that Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia, a little‑known group that has claimed a string of antisemitic attacks across Europe, told CBS it will target U.S. and Israeli interests worldwide. Attacks include London ambulances burned and a car set on fire in Antwerp; Dutch police have arrested five teenagers in Rotterdam linked to a synagogue attack. Analysts say the group may be Iran-aligned and relying on Telegram to coordinate, with security services reviewing CCTV footage as investigations continue and authorities urge caution about state sponsorship or copycat tactics.
