Port Authority Bomber Was Trying to Commit Suicide, Defense Argues

A photo provided by the NY Taxi and Limousine Commission of Akayed Ullah, a Bangladeshi immigrant detonated a homemade pipe bomb last December in a crowded subway corridor near the Port Authority Bus Terminal. As the terror trial of Ullah opened, his lawyer said he had nothing to do with the Islamic State, but had tried to kill himself with a pipe bomb.
