‘ISIS’ radical busted in threat to local march

An ISIS-loving Islamic extremist from Yonkers was busted by the feds Friday for plotting to kill the city’s cops and mayor, beginning on the street where a St. Patrick’s Day parade will be taking place this weekend, authorities said.

Ridon Kola, 32, directly messaged the Yonkers police, saying “I will crucify Yonkers cops and their bosses all along McLean ave. It will be a horror scene . . . . Allahu Ekberr,” according to federal authorities.

Though Kola didn’t directly threaten the parade, McLean Avenue is the street where the parade is scheduled for Saturday. Officials quickly busted him Friday so he couldn’t do any damage at the event.

“Yonkers is proud to host one of New York’s largest St. Patrick’s Day parades and threats like this will not intimidate us from celebrating the many contributions of our Irish American community,” Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano tweeted.

Kola was charged with making threatening interstate communications, according to Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams.

On multiple occasions, Kola had posted disturbing posts online, including support for a “jihad,” or “to war against non-Muslims,” the feds allege. He also voiced support for extremists from the Islamic State.

The messages apparently went on for years.

In 2021, he posted one to an official Yonkers police social media account, writing in Albanian: “I am going to slaughter you little girls.”

Then on March 9, he sent a direct message to the police account that read, “First people to be crucified will be the Yonkers rats Vallahi. Allahu Ekberr.” That message came along with the one referencing killing cops on McLean Avenue.
