A 28-year-old Afghani native wanted in connection with blasts in Manhattan and New Jersey that left 29 wounded has been caught after shooting at a police officer in New Jersey, according to a report.
Ahmad Khan Rahami was arrested after firing at the cop in Linden, WNBC reported.
Rahami, whose fingerprint was found on an unexploded device, was hunted in connection with the explosions that sparked fears of a local terror cell, according to federal officials.
Earlier Monday, FBI agents raided the Elizabeth, New Jersey, home of Rahami, a naturalized US citizen who was deemed armed and dangerous, Mayor Bill de Blasio said.
“We need to get this guy in right away,” de Blasio said on CNN. “My experience is once the FBI zeroes in on someone, they will get them.”
The apartment search began after one of five devices found in a backpack at a nearby Elizabeth train station exploded while a bomb squad robot tried to disarm it. No one was injured.

“My experience is once the FBI zeroes in on someone, they will get them.” So with respect to Hellery it's just a matter of myopia?

Did they find this guy because he was walking down the street shooting at people in NJ and also shot at cops when confronted? Sounds like he wanted to be caught.
To: Nachum
Idiots. If he thought he was being persecuted before, now he’s REALLY going to be disgruntled.

They just showed him being lifted into the ambulance. Looks like he was shot in the upper arm.

Come on, the “rank & file” did zero in, they can't be blamed for the corruption at the top!
Both the current AG & Dir/FBI need to be RICO’ed!

They found him sleeping in the hallway of a local business, it’s true.

Should have offered dead or alive bounty. Best for all Islamic terrorists.

Here’s a photo of him after being caught.

Can someone post actual photo? (Computer skills like a Clinton IT guy here.)
To: treetopsandroofs
Probably. Still can’t believe Obama let the Orlando Islamic terrorist go. She was obviously involved and knew what was going on. Since she is reported last in Jordan, we should threaten hold on all funds pending her return to the US. Dead or alive is up to them.

Shot at a cop.
IMO he wanted to be killed by the cop. Plus all this activity in the apt above the Chicken Joint and his parents were not aware of something.....
BS
