Revealed: Chicken shop terrorist's mom AND wife both left the US for the Middle East days before attacks as 'strict Muslim' father claims he had no idea of his son's plot

Ahmad Khan Rahami's father, Mohammad Sr, claims he had no idea about his son's bombing plots

It has also been revealed that Rahami's mom and wife left the country just days before the attacks

The 28-year-old is wanted in connection to three bombings in NYC and New Jersey over the weekend

So far, he has been charged with five counts of attempted murder and two gun charges for a shootout with police as he was arrested on Monday

Pressure cooker bomb was set off Saturday in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood and left 29 people injured

Surveillance footage shows Rahami walking down 23rd Street dragging the bomb in a bag behind him

Fingerprints on a second unexploded bomb found blocks away led police to want to arrest Rahami

Just hours before, a pipe bomb was detonated at a military charity run in Seaside Park, New Jersey

On Sunday, five more pipe bombs were found at the Elizabeth train station and were disarmed by police

FBI officials said Rahami was not on any terror watch list but he had traveled multiple times to Afghanistan

The Rahami family came to the U.S. as asylum seekers in 1995 when Ahmad was seven years old

With Ahmad Khan Rahami now in custody, authorities are investigating whether the 28-year-old carried out the recent bombings in New York City and New Jersey alone or if he was working with others.

While officials say early signs indicate a lone wolf attack, the behavior of the suspected terrorist's family members in the days leading up to the attacks suggest he may have told relatives of the plot.

In fact, both Rahami's mother and Pakistani-born wife left for the Middle East just days before the bombings in Seaside Park, New Jersey and New York City, and the foiled plot in Elizabeth, New Jersey.

The Los Angeles Times reports that Rahami's wife left for Pakistan just days before the bombings, and was stopped by officials in the United Arab Emirates, a popular stopover for flights between the U.S. and the Middle East. It's still unclear whether she was allowed to travel on to Pakistan, was held in the UAE or returned to the U.S.

Rahami's mother also left for Turkey three weeks before the attacks, and has not yet returned to the U.S., an official told ABC News.

Ahmad Khan Rahami's father, Mohammad Sr, claims he had no idea about his son's bombing plots

Taqiyya

[Parmy]

That is a lie.

[Parmy]

Meaning that the father knew of what his son was plotting.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Now, THAT is a thorough in-depth article.

[zerosix]

If this family is "strict Muslim," then they obviously observe Shria and females aren't permitted to fly or travel anywhere alone!

If those wives went anywhere, one of their adult male relatives traveled with them. One wonders exactly who that is.

[Paladin2]

Iguess that means the CIA & DHS are behind this.

[originalbuckeye]

Yet another terrorist family protected by those in charge. And this one has been given a bail amount. I am fed up with terrorists, who were on watch lists, causing destruction and mayhem after those monitoring them have been told to back off. Yes, it says this one wasn’t on a watch list, but we know how trustworthy this Admin is........

[Buckeye McFrog]

Unaccompanied Muslim women boarding flights out of the country should trigger alarm bells going forward.

Of course, they won’t.

[Genoa]

The Daily Mail has a lot more curiosity about American politics than any other newspaper, and it’s not even published here.

[Frank_2001]

And the chicken had better be halal too! /s;)

[COBOL2Java]

That is a lie.

Indeed. And to a Muslim, it's a holy act.

[RayChuang88]

I think he certainly had help building the bombs. But in order to keep the “lone wolf” image, he worked alone to place them.

[No Socialist]

Did we ever find out what happened to the Orlando Terrorists wife? Is she out of the country as well?

[COBOL2Java]

Meaning that the father knew of what his son was plotting.

It's a holy thing to lie to infidels.

[RitchieAprile]

London is 8 hours ahead of eastern time..

[COUNTrecount]

Does the father use pressure cookers in his ‘chicken business”???

[FlingWingFlyer]

I guess we can expect to see Mohammad Sr. to show up at a Clintoon “rally” some time in the near future.

[jiggyboy]

Ahmad Khan Rahami's father, Mohammad Sr, claims he had no idea about his son's bombing plots

I like what somebody said on another thread: if we good citizens should have no reason to believe that these kinds of statements are never lies, then we must conclude and believe that any Muslim can go complete Jihad at any time, and think and plan and live our lives accordingly.

Probably now with Omar Mateen’s Wife (wherever she is)
