Ullah, who planned to die in the attack, left behind evidence of his festering rage toward the U.S. Investigators scouring the suspect's Brooklyn home turned up a passport in his name with a chilling handwritten note. "O America, die in your rage," it read, the complaint says.

The investigators also found metal pipes, Christmas light fragments and screws that matched the items used in the clumsily constructed bomb found at the scene, according to the complaint.

The seeds of Ullah's radicalization were sown about 2014, when he started watching Islamic State videos online, the complaint says. Ullah told police he began doing online research on how to build homemade explosives about a year ago. He dedicated himself to attacking the U.S. after seeing instructions that "if supporters of ISIS were unable to travel overseas to join ISIS, they should carry out attacks in their homelands," the complaint reads.

Ullah, who sources said was most recently working as an electrician, gathered together the bombmaking materials about two to three weeks ago, court papers say. In need of a pipe, Ullah swiped one from his work site near the bus terminal, sources said. He built the bomb in his Ocean Parkway apartment roughly a week before the attack, according to the criminal complaint. The device, strapped to his chest with wires and zip ties, consisted of a 12-inch metal pipe filled with explosive powder and metal screws. It was attached to Christmas tree lights and a 9-volt battery designed to spark its detonation.

Ullah, who is recovering from burns and cuts to his hands and stomach at Bellevue Hospital, is expected to appear before a judge Wednesday.

His neighbors on Ocean Parkway in Kensington said he lived a shadowy existence. "He was a loner," said Joseph Ruggiero, 84. "When I'd see him, it would only be for an elevator ride. We never talked."

Ullah lived for a time at his parents' home on E. 48th St. in Flatlands, where he was spotting having a heated argument with his mother and dad late Sunday. "Everyone in the neighborhood heard it," said Youry Valcin, 21, who noted the trio were arguing in Bengali. Valcin said he spotted Ullah leave the home and hop into a car about 6 a.m. on Monday. Ullah looked "depressed" and "sad," Valcin said.

"We are heartbroken by the violence that was targeted at our city today and by the allegations being made against a member of our family," said the statement read by Albert Fox Cahn, legal director for the NY Chapter Council for Islamic Relations. "But we're also outraged by the behavior of the law enforcement officials who held children as small as 4 years old out in the cold and who pulled a teenager out of high school classes to interrogate him without lawyer, without his parents." It was not immediately clear if the 4-year-old or the teenager were related to the suspect.

The family continued to criticize the way the investigation was handled - even though the suspect, Akayed Ullah, allegedly launched a failed terror attack in a crowded city subway tunnel. "These are not the sorts of actions we expect from our justice system," the statement read. "We have every confidence that our justice system will find the truth behind this attack and that we will in the end be able learn what occurred today."
