Osveta za napade na ISIS
Policija je objavila kako je mladićeva motivacija bila osveta zbog američkih napada na teritoriju takozvane Islamske države, a da je lokaciju odabrao zbog brojnih božićnih plakata koji se tamo nalaze, piše BBC. Ullah se trenutačno nalazi na odjelu intenzivne njege u teškom stanju. Pretrpio je teške opekline kada je detonirana eksplozivna naprava koja je bila opasana oko njega.
U SAD-u od 2011.
Policajcima je kazao kako je bio inspiriran terorističkim napadima u Europi tijekom blagdana prošle godine. Mladić inače živi u Brooklynu, a donedavno je radio u jednoj električnoj kompaniji. Ullah je emigrirao u SAD 2011., a u Bangladešu dotad nije imao nikakav dosje.
