US media won’t tell you a thing about terrorists but if you look at the UK news, you can find out what is going on.
The Times Square bomber was sentenced to life in prison, BBC reports.
THE STORY
A man, devoted to ISIS, who set off a pipe bomb during rush hour in a New York subway station, has been sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years.
Akayed Ullah, 31, detonated the bomb in Times Square station, which is the busiest in New York City, on 11 December 2017.
He later claimed he had only wanted to kill himself and was not acting on behalf of the Islamic State (IS) group.
US Circuit Judge Richard Sullivan described the attack as a “truly barbaric and heinous crime”.
“They were just people on the way to work or school,” Judge Sullivan said before sentencing Ullah to life plus 30 years on Thursday. “To you, these people were expendable.”
