Video Appears To Show NYC Bomb Suspect Buying Fuse At Fireworks Store

Newly released surveillance video appears to show a man buying a fuse at a fireworks store days before authorities say he and another man brought homemade bombs to a protest outside the New York City mayor’s residence. Emir Balat, 18, visited a Phantom Fireworks store near his suburban Philadelphia home on March 2 and purchased 20 feet (6 meters) of consumer fireworks safety fuse, the company said Wednesday. Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, were arrested on Saturday after police said they attempted to set off a pair of improvised explosives at a small anti-Muslim rally near Gracie Mansion in Manhattan.
