India, March 10 -- The United States Department of Justice on Monday charged two men for allegedly attempting to detonate improvised explosive devices near the residence of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during a protest in Manhattan.

The suspects were identified as Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, who authorities said were supporters of the terror group ISIS.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the two men allegedly planned to cause mass casualties in the name of ISIS and hoped to exceed the death toll of the Boston Marathon bombing.

"We are tremendously grateful to the brave law enforcement officers who ran into harm's way to apprehend these individuals and disarm the explosives before anyone was harmed," Blanche said.
