Akayed Ullah: Bangladeshi Immigrant and Cab Driver

akayed ullah: But the attack sent terrified commuters fleeing through a smoky passageway, and three people suffered headaches and ringing ears from the first bomb blast in the subway in more than two decades, according to CTV. This was an attempted terrorist attack, Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio said. In the end, the only serious wounds were to the suspect identified as Akayed Ullah, a 27-year-old Bangladeshi immigrant and former cab driver. Thank God the perpetrator did not achieve his ultimate goals. In Washington, President Donald Trump said the explosion highlighted the need to change immigration policies, including the type of family-based visa Ullah obtained to come to the U.S. in 2011. The suspect had looked as Islamic State propaganda online and told investigators he acted alone in retaliation for U.S. military aggression, law enforcement officials said.
