Akayed Ullah, who was arrested in December after detonating a pipe bomb in a subway station near Times Square, has been convicted on terrorism charges, AP reports.
Details: Ullah is a Bangladeshi immigrant who came to the U.S. in 2011. He admitted during police interrogation that his attempted attack, which resulted in several injuries, was retaliation against U.S. military attacks against ISIS in Syria, reports the N.Y. Times.
