TL;DR

Gunman who smoke bombed subway pleads guilty to terrorism- PublishedA man who set off smoke bombs in a crowded New York subway carriage before shooting 10 people has pleaded guilty to terrorism and weapons charges.Prosecutors said last week that if the gunman accepted responsibility, a prison sentence of 32 to 37 years would be appropriate.Police said he donned a gas mask during the attack and escaped in the aftermath - but he left behind several personal items that aided in his capture, including a key to a U-Haul van he had rented in Philadelphia and driven to Brooklyn, and a bank card with his name on it.A legally-purchased Glock 9mm left behind at the scene was also registered under the suspect's name.Police have not identified a motive, but authorities said the suspect posted multiple videos on YouTube that featured bigoted rants and statements about New York City's subway system, including comments about homeless people and conspiracy theories."
