Emergency dispatch logs from Bucks County, pennsylvania show three calls to law enforcement from Kayumi\u2019s family home on Saturday afternoon, Saturday night, and Sunday night, though the content of the calls was not disclosed. The first call came at 4:15 p.m. Saturday, with a second at 9:19 p.m. Saturday and a third at 8:54 p.m. Sunday, and the records suggest the calls occurred hours after the suspects were taken into custody. The investigation notes that the pair were en route to New York City when the incident happened; Balat threw a homemade bomb at protesters,and Kayumi supplied a second bomb that Balat discarded near officers as they approached. The bombs did not ignite, and both men were quickly subdued by police. After their arrests, the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >suspects reportedly admitted allegiance<\/a> to the Islamic State and described their actions as advancing ISIS goals; Kayumi allegedly told a bystander that the motive was \u201cISIS.\u201d The case also highlighted a missing-person concern, with Kayumi\u2019s mother having filed a report for her son, and it raised questions about whether others might have been involved. The reporting cites Fox News and the New york Post, which provided timelines, statements, and contextual details about the protest and the suspects\u2019 motives.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Someone was calling law enforcement dispatchers from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/item-seen-on-truck-used-in-new-orleans-massacre-sparks-rampant-speculation\/\" title=\"Item Seen on Truck Used in New Orleans Massacre Sparks Rampant Speculation\">terror suspect&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s home over the weekend &mdash;

The first call, at 4:15 p.m. Saturday, came from the family home of 19-year-old Ibrahim Kayumi, about four hours after Kayumi and 18-year-old Emir Balat were arrested on charges related to an attempted bombing at an anti-Islam protest outside the home of New York City\u2019s Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani. A second call appeared at 9:19 p.m. Saturday and a third at 8:54 p.m. Sunday; the records did not specify the content of the calls. The story also noted that Kayumi\u2019s family had reportedly been looking for him since Saturday, with his mother filing a missing-person report and saying she last saw him at 10:30 a.m. They were later seen in New York City, where the two attended a protest near Gracie Mansion. Balat hurled a homemade bomb at protesters that failed to ignite; he then tossed a second bomb, retrieved from Kayumi, near approaching officers and was subdued along with Kayumi. Court documents cited by the New York Post indicated both men openly supported ISIS; Kayumi reportedly told a bystander that their motive was \u201cISIS,\u201d and Balat affirmed his allegiance to the Islamic State and said he wanted the attack to be deadlier than the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2578855,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ben-Working-Feature-Image-2026-03-11T191920.579.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[5175,3976,7332,50944,6039],"class_list":["post-2578854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-arrest","tag-investigation","tag-nyc","tag-report-2","tag-terrorism"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Ben-Working-Feature-Image-2026-03-11T191920.579.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2578854"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578854\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2578858,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2578854\/revisions\/2578858"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2578855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2578854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2578854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2578854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
