Federal prosecutors have charged two men with plotting a bomb attack near the New York City mayor's official residence. An indictment states their goal was to kill up to 60 people. The U.S. Department of Justice accuses the pair of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction. The alleged plan involved a homemade bomb targeting Gracie Mansion, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani lives. Authorities cite evidence from a vehicle dashcam recording. In the audio, one suspect allegedly states, “I want to start terror bro.” The indictment does not specify a motive. The case is now proceeding through the federal court system.
