Akayed Ullah, 27, faces charges including the use of weapons of mass destruction and bombing of a public place.
The suspect in the New York City subway blast posted a message to President Trump on his Facebook page just before the bungled ISIS-inspired attack, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday.
« Trump you failed to protect your nation, » the post said.
Akayed Ullah, 27, a Bangladeshi immigrant who lives in Brooklyn, faces state and federal charges, including material support to a terrorist organization, use of weapons of mass destruction and bombing of a public place.
As prosecutors prepared to formally announce the charges, new details emerged about the suspect’s background.
His wife gave birth to their son in Bangladesh on June 10 and Ullah returned home to visit them in September before coming back the U. S. the following month, according to Mohammed Saiful Islam, a Bangladeshi counterterrorism deputy police commissioner.

That means Ullah’s child was born six months and one day before he allegedly detonated his bomb.
Ullah’s wife, Jannatul Ferdous Jui, as well as his parents-in-law, Zulfiqar Haider and Mahfuza Akhter, were detained at their home in the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka on Tuesday and taken into custody for questioning, Islam said.
Ullah grew up in Dhaka after his family moved there from Sandwip, a small island near the city of Chittagong, where he was born, the deputy police commissioner added.
Ullah came to the United States from Bangladesh with an immigrant visa on Feb. 21,2011. He is a legal permanent resident with a green card.
He was a licensed cab driver from March 2012 to March 2015, according to a spokesman for the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission, and more recently he was working as an electrician.
Law enforcement officials said Ullah, who had traveled abroad numerous times since moving to the U. S., didn’t raise any red flags before Monday. He only had several traffic tickets on his record.
