Ahmad Khan Rahami’s Father Told Police in 2014 His Son Was a Terrorist, Officials Say
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/21/nyregion/ahmad-khan-rahami-suspect.html ^

Two years before the bombings that Ahmad Khan Rahami is suspected of carrying out in New York and New Jersey, his father told the police that his son was a terrorist, prompting a review by federal agents, according to two law enforcement officials.

The father, Mohammad Rahami, in a brief interview on Tuesday, said that at the time he told agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation about his concern, his son had just had a fight with another of his sons and stabbed the man, leading to a criminal investigation.

“Two years ago I go to the F.B.I. because my son was doing really bad, O.K.?” he said. “But they check almost two months, they say, ‘He’s O.K., he’s clean, he’s not a terrorist.’ I say O.K.”

He added: “Now they say he is a terrorist. I say O.K.”

It is not clear if officers ever interviewed Ahmad Rahami, but as investigators turn their focus to what might have motivated, inspired or led him to plant bombs in Chelsea in Manhattan and on the Jersey Shore, new clues are emerging indicating that he may have been increasingly receptive to extremist ideology.

The FBI under current leadership is corrupt, making major investigative mistakes. Comey has to go.

Contrast with ...angleNews:

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 FBI will "interview" them and then let them go, nothing to see here, just like they let the bomber go two years ago, just like they did nothing about the Boston bombers after being alerted by Russia.

Director Comey is as dirty as they come. He earned millions from the Clinton Foundation, obscenely covered for Hillary in broad daylight, and is using his agency to actively aid Obama’s anti-America agenda.

Proving once again that even when there ARE moderate Muslims willing to give tips even on their own family, this regime will turn them away.

Comey, like Eichmann, is just following orders from the top.

The father, as the one honest guy in the group, needs to get into witness protection a.s.a.p. Either that or apply for asylum in Egypt. I’d trust al-Sisi more than I would anyone in this sorry regime.

Why would he need to go into the witness protection?
What has he done to deserve it?
We need to protect him from what? his own? Muslims? LOL

He couldn’t be a terrorist. He’s Muslim.

Can we cut to the chase and find out who Rahami’s FBI handler was now, or are we going to have to go through 20 years of the obvious truth slowly migrating from tinfoil hat conspiracy theory to established and documented historical fact?
