NYC terrorist who botched attack at Port Authority says attack was retaliation for violence in Gaza

On Monday's episode of "Pat Gray Unleashed," Pat discussed the would-be terror attack that was botched by Akayed Ullah, a Bangladeshi immigrant with a green card who arrived in the United States in 2011.

According to ABC News, the 27-year-old is a legal resident with a green card who had traveled overseas several times and who admitted to being inspired by ISIS propaganda online. Ullah strapped the defective explosives to his body with the help of a training manual created by ISIS he found online. Ullah also admitted that the attack was in retaliation for what's transpired in Israel and Gaza.

Tune in to the podcast above to hear Pat's thoughts on the matter.
