 NEW YORK (AP) — A Bangladeshi immigrant arrested in a New York subway bombing mocked President Donald Trump on social media while on his way to carry out the botched suicide mission, authorities said as they brought federal charges against him Tuesday. “On the way to carrying out the December 11 attack, Ullah posted a statement on his Facebook account that stated, 'Trump you failed to protect your nation,'" according to a federal court complaint filed by Special Agent Joseph Cerciello with Homeland Security Investigations and the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force. The five-count complaint charges the Brooklyn resident with bombing a public place, use of a weapon of mass destruction, providing support for the Islamic State, destruction of property by fire or explosives and use of a destructive device in furtherance of a crime of violence. Ullah — who told investigators he wanted to retaliate for American action against Islamic State extremists — came to the U.S. from Bangladesh in 2011 on a visa available to certain relatives of U.S. citizens. toggle caption NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission 
 
 Acting U.S. Attorney Joon Kim said Ullah "came to kill, to maim, and to destroy" as thousands of New Yorkers were using the transit system to get to work and go about their lives. Ullah's first court appearance is expected to be a "bedside presentment" by video conference from Bellevue Hospital on Wednesday, Kim's office said. Ullah was taken into custody — and to the hospital — after he suffered burns to his hands and abdomen in a subway station tunnel near Times Square during the Monday morning rush hour. Three people who were near the explosion suffered minor injuries. Ullah faces five charges, ranging from providing material support to a terrorist group to using a weapon of mass destruction. The bomb had been filled with metal screws and attached to his body with zip ties, the authorities say. He hoped to "terrorize as many people as possible" with a bomb filled with metal screws that he believed would cause maximum damage, the complaint said. The suspect had become radicalized through "pro-ISIS materials online" at least as far back as 2014, according to court documents filed by Kim's office. According to the complaint, Ullah started to become radicalized in 2014 and began researching how to build bomb after he had "viewed pro-ISIS materials online, including a video instructing, in substance, that if supporters of ISIS were unable to travel overseas to join ISIS, they should carry out attacks in their homelands."

 Ullah began searching the Internet about a year ago for information about building improvised explosive devices, the complaint charged. Also found was a passport with the name Akayet Ullah that featured multiple handwritten notations, including “O AMERICA, DIE IN YOUR RAGE,” the complaint alleged. Ullah had not been on the radar of law enforcement prior to Monday's blast, John Miller, NYPD's deputy commissioner for counterterrorism and intelligence, told CBS This Morning. He "was living here, went through number of jobs, was not particularly struggling financially or had any known pressures," Miller said, adding Ullah "was not on our radar at NYPD, not on the FBI radar." Relatives and police said Ullah last visited Bangladesh in September to see his wife and newborn son before leaving them behind to return the United States.
– Before detonating a pipe bomb near Times Square Monday morning, Akayed Ullah reportedly took the time to update his Facebook status—and his message was about President Trump. The detail comes via the five-count federal complaint filed against him Tuesday (NPR posts the complaint in full here), and USA Today has the relevant passage: "On the way to carrying out the December 11 attack, Ullah posted a statement on his Facebook account stating, 'Trump you failed to protect your nation.'" The complaint also unpacks his motive per comments the 27-year-old allegedly made to investigators. "I did it for the Islamic State," he said, according to the AP. The complaint alleges Ullah specifically chose a workday to carry out the attack in order to "terrorize as many people as possible," and that he attacked "because of the United States Government's policies in, among other places, the Middle East." The complaint lays out a timeline that dates his radicalization to 2014, details pro-ISIS materials he viewed online, and notes he began to research bomb-making online within roughly the last 12 months. In Ullah's native Bangladesh, counterterrorism officers are interviewing Ullah's wife (who reportedly gave birth to the couple's son 6 months ago) and other family members, whom Ullah last visited in September. Among the charges Ullah faces: bombing a public place, use of a weapon of mass destruction, and providing support to ISIS.
