NEW YORK: The Bangladeshi suspect in Monday’s pipe bomb explosion beneath New York’s Times Square is an angry former limousine driver who learned to build a bomb on the internet at his Brooklyn apartment, officials said. Three other people were also hurt in the blast in a pedestrian tunnel linking two subway stops beneath West 42nd Street, officials said. Each acted alone, inspired by jihadist groups such as Islamic State, Cuomo said. “Both of them went on the web, downloaded information,” Cuomo said of the two suspects, adding that Ullah learned to make a bomb online. They’re disgruntled,” said Cuomo, who went to the scene of the crime where he met with investigators.
