Ahmad Khan Rahami 'Directly Linked' to NYC and NJ Bombings, Feds Say: UPDATES

Rahami and two cops were wounded but alive after a shootout Monday. De Blasio: "We have every reason to believe this was an act of terror." By Marc Torrence (Patch National Staff) - September 19, 2016 3:22 pm ET

NEW YORK, NY — Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28, the lead suspect in this weekend's series of nonfatal bombings in New Jersey and New York City, was taken into custody Monday morning following a bloody shootout with police in Linden, New Jersey.

Two police officers were injured in the shootout. One officer who was wearing a vest was shot in the chest, a law enforcement source told Patch, while the second officer suffered a hand injury — possibly from shrapnel. Rahami was also shot, but he was taken into custody alive. Both officers were expected to survive.

"We have directly linked Rahami to devices in New York and from Saturday in New Jersey," William Sweeney, head of the FBI's New York bureau, said at a press conference Monday afternoon. A law enforcement source told Patch that Rahami showed up in surveillance footage recorded at the scene of both bombings.

"Before Monday's big manhunt and takedown, Rahami was not on any terror watch lists and was not on police radar, Sweeney said. The only time he had come into contact with local police was for a domestic violence incident in which he allegedly pulled a knife on his sister, a law enforcement source told Patch — a claim she later refuted and for which she refused to press charges, the source said."

FOX News Rick Leventhal just reported that the FBI interviewed Rahami due to allegationns from family member that Rahami was involved in terrorism and the FBI said that they "found no evidence of terrorism."

Gee, doesn't that found familiar?

How many times have we heard that the useless FBI under Obama let terrorists suspects go and ultimately commit an act of terror.

“Rahimi had a series of escalating run-ins with the law, beginning 2008 when he spent a day in jail for unpaid parking tickets, and another in 2012 after he allegedly violated a restraining order, the New York Times reports. In 2014, Rahami spent three days in jail on weapons and aggravated assault charges, after allegedly stabbing a person in the leg, the New York Times reports. A grand jury dropped Rahami’s charges for the fight, which allegedly began as a domestic dispute.

Rahami’s motive is not yet known. However, one of Rahami’s brothers, Mohammad K. Rahami, posted a jihadi message to Facebook in 2013.

“I bring the men who desire death as ardently as you desire life,” the image made by Ansar Al-Furquan read. The quote is from a companion of the Prophet Muhammad.

A New Jersey neighbor of the family told The New York Times that one of Ahmad Rahami’s brothers went to Afghanistan following a fight with a police officer. A civil discrimination suit filed by the Rahami family against the city of Elizabeth in 2011 cites Mohammad K. Rahami’s arrest.

The Rahami brothers’ father claimed in the lawsuit that city officials harassed him at his business, First American Fried Chicken, with unnecessary citations and summonses. The court documents state that city officials forced the restaurant to close at 10 p.m. every night, while similar neighborhood restaurants were allowed to stay open later.

The lawsuit also claimed the family was the target of anti-Muslim sentiment from neighbors and officials, including one neighbor who allegedly complained to police that “Muslims make too much trouble in this country” and that “Muslims should not have businesses here.”

“FBI BOSS COMEY CONNECTED TO CLINTON FOUNDATION”

And we wonder why the FBI is a joke, when the Director is a Tool for Obama.

They found him so quickly because all they had to do was look at their undercover sting “clients” and they came up with him very quickly. I’m sure that he was supposed to die so he’ll be held without bond in solitary confinement with no outside communication and all evidence will be “National Security” with no access.

When did he immigrate? Under what circumstances? Apparently he was here to sue the police in 2011.
Was his record one of the ones ordered scrubbed by Obama?
Did the Russians warn us about this guy in advance like they did the Boston bombers?
