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.

“Afghani native ... Ahmad Khan Rahami.”

I guess that will prove that it wasn’t an act of Muslim terror - just a lone wolf crazy unhappy at work.

“blasts in Manhattan and New Jersey”

And let’s join the media in making fun of Trump for saying that the blasts were caused by bombs.

Hard to believe this guy, his father and brother ‘sued the local police’ in 2011 claiming they PERSECUTED them for being Muslim....that they subjected them to discrimination and ‘selective enforcement’...’The family’ claimed that police tried to shut down their chicken restaurant too early each night with ‘baseless’ tickets and summonses.....had a ‘reckless disregard and deliberate indifference for plaintiff’s constitutional rights of liberty, due process and equal protection’.

His father Mohammad Sr, 53, and his brother Mohammad, brought the lawsuit together and said that local residents also racially abused them.....have owned the chicken restaurant since 2002.

The area around the restaurant was ‘known for criminal activity’....it was supposed to close at 10pm, but was staying open illegally until four or five o’clock in the morning.

realizing his attempt to turn this into a “hands up, don’t shoot” incident probably won’t work, Shepard Smith now angling the “Hispanic police officer saves day” but not mentioning other officers much, NOR HAS THIS TURD SHEPARD SMITH USED THE WORD ISLAMIC TERROR ONCE ...

Now it’s the “we are not afraid” angle that segways how we were all inspired by Obama not to let “our fears cloud our values” will be coming from Smith next. GET THIS TURD OFF THE AIR

Now this Muslim terrorist is just a “moron” per Smith...

I say we feed him to a pack of starving pit bulls! Videotape it and send it to ISIS. Worry not—just sentence him to five years in Prison—with the general prison population. He will not last six months.
