Feds bust twin brothers from the Bronx for trying to build bombs

Cops have busted twin brothers from the Bronx for allegedly stockpiling explosive materials and crafting bombs inside their home — with help from high school students.

Christian Toro, a former teacher at Harlem Prep, and his brother, Tyler Toro, were arrested by the FBI on Thursday as part of a joint investigation with the NYPD.

The two 27-year-olds had been forging explosive devices inside their Pelham Parkway apartment since last October — using gunpowder from fireworks as the base for their bomb-making, according to the complaint.

A search of the residence turned up a slew of dangerous chemicals, including 20 pounds of iron oxide and aluminum powder, which form thermite when combined.

A “diary” was also allegedly found — which contained disturbing, handwritten notes, such as “WE ARE TWIN TOROS STRIKE US NOW” and “WE WILL RETURN WITH NANO THERMITE.”

As if that wasn’t enough, federal agents then discovered “a yellow backpack in a living area of the apartment, which contained, among other things, a purple index card with handwriting that reads, ‘UNDER THE FULL MOON THE SMALL ONES WILL KNOW TERROR.”

White Hispanic White supremicists ? /s.

Christian allegedly met the youths through his job as a teacher and offered to pay them $50 per hour to “break apart fireworks and store the powder that came out of the fireworks in containers,” the complaint says.

Take ‘em out to an empty field, strap ‘em to a pole, tie a grenade to their genitals. Pull out the pin.

"...$50.00 per hour..."


Not a bad gig for a 14 y.o. kid coupled with a dozen free bottlerockets at the end of the workweek as a bonus.

Here’s a link to a press conference from last night. I do have a complaint. Towards the end they have a Q & A session. However, they did not provide a microphone to the questioners and the speakers did not repeat the question. Piss poor NYC, piss poor.
