ELIZABETH, N.J. Authorities said they apprehended Ahmad Khan Rahami, the 28-year-old wanted in connection with weekend bombings in Manhattan and Seaside Park, N.J., after a shootout Monday with police officers.
The bloody incident capped off a frantic 72-hour period in this region and beyond, marked by the dual bombings, a stabbing spree in Minnesota and then, Sunday night, the discovery of still more explosive devices at a train station here. Even as the widening probe into the bombings continued across this region, authorities sought to reassure residents that the the bombings and additional explosives appeared to be the work of a lone person rather than a larger network.
Chris Bollwage, mayor of Elizabeth, N.J., told reporters that Rahami whose last known address was in that city had been taken into custody Monday in the neighboring city of Linden. Two police officers were shot during the encounter, according to authorities, one of them struck in their protective vest.
Rahami a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Afghanistan, according to the FBI was also shot and was taken away in an ambulance, officials said.
Television footage showed the suspect being wheeled into an ambulance, hands cuffed, eyes open. He was taken to University Hospital in Newark, according to a hospital spokeswoman, but his condition was not immediately available.

Of course not. Who expect anything else from the Hillary protecting federal and state law enforcement agencies ?
Not much of a cell if their SOP is to pass out in the doorway of a bar after committing a terrorist attack.
No we are,not Chris.
In the age of the internet, the government definition of a terror cell has to change.
I thought a car was stopped that contained guns and explosive components and several people dressed in “middle eastern” clothes? I thought they were on way to JFK airport??
Wow!
A whole five writers tasked to feed us the FBI line that no terror cell exists?
Like anyone believes the FBI anymore.
No one is talking about those guys.
I’m not sure why, but it’s odd.
Gotta disagree with Chris Hayes, I wish the cops had been carrying .45 hollow points or a shotgun with 00.
The only good jihadi is a dead jihadi.
FBI - Full Bullshit Ingredients
What 5 guys? Airport? Guns?
I don’t get it?! We watch leftist-produced entertainment that shows us loosely coupled terrorist cells consisting of a few or single operative blowing up buildings an/or themselves.
We know what book encourages the subjugation or death of those who resist Islam. (Hint: It’s not the Bible.) Is the left suddenly illiterate?
The left calls us stupid.
I’m sorry. I don’t know where that came from. I must have dreamed that.
That is what I just told a couple of men in black suits that just left.
Of course there’s no indication of a terror cell; there never is. There’s not even any indication of a motive for the attack by this diverse guest in our country; there never is. I wonder if we’ll ever find a common denominator among the attackers. Perhaps some day, but certainly not under this Attorney General or the bigot occupying our White House.
He obviously had training in making bombs
Coughing into hand bullshit
Doesn’t matter if there’s a cell. There’s this big cult - 1.5 billion cultists.
Maybe his whole family is a terror cell. We should find out in the coming days.
