Port Authority Bomber Is Sentenced to Life in Prison. Akayed Ullah, who detonated a pipe bomb in a crowded subway tunnel near Times Square in the name of ISIS in 2017, became radicalized online. On Thursday, Mr. Ullah, 31, was sentenced to life imprisonment by a federal judge who rejected his request for mercy. “This was a calculated, premeditated decision to kill as many people as you could,” the judge, Richard J. Sullivan, said, “all in the name of an organization that is dedicated to spreading terror.” The fact that Mr. Ullah had failed to execute his plan did not make him any less culpable or his intent less sinister, the judge said. “This is about as serious a crime as there is,” Judge Sullivan added. Two victims of the attack also submitted letters that described its lasting impact on their lives. One, David Wall, who had testified at Mr. Ullah’s trial about being left with shrapnel in his right leg and having serious hearing problems, wrote to the judge about the anxiety he still feels when he enters the subway and rides crowded trains.
