The FBI revealed on Monday that federal agents were searching a Pennsylvania storage facility in connection with their investigation into the ISIS-inspired botched bombing outside Gracie Mansion.

The feds were “conducting a court authorized search” of the storage facility in Langhorne, the same borough where Emir Balat — one of the alleged bomb hurlers — lived with his parents.

“The FBI New York Joint Terrorism Task Force, along with our partners at the NYPD, will continue pursuing all leads and tips,” the FBI’s New York office said in a Monday night X post announcing the search.

Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, allegedly plotted to launch a deadly attack Saturday during an anti-Muslim protest in the Upper East Side.

The duo allegedly tried to detonate IEDs outside Gracie Mansion, but the devices never exploded.

In a five-count complaint against the wannabe terrorists from upscale Philadelphia suburbs, it was revealed that they wanted to cause more deaths than the Boston Marathon bombing.

They also pledged allegiance to ISIS after their arrests, according to the feds.
