New York Names Person Of Interest In Chelsea Bombing: Ahmad Khan Rahami
NPR ^ | September 19, 2016

Posted on 09/19/2016 6:19:42 AM PDT by Lera

Speaking after multiple bombs either exploded or were found in the New York and New Jersey area, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio says authorities are seeking Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28. Both the FBI and NYPD want to question Rahami about Saturday night's explosion on West 23rd Street in Manhattan.

Rahami "should be considered armed and dangerous," according to the FBI.

"The important thing is to get this individual quickly and to continue to be strong and vigilant," de Blasio said via Twitter. He urged anyone with knowledge about the case to call 1-800-577-TIPS.

Saturday night's blast wounded 29 people -- all of them were released from hospitals by the next morning.

Rahami is a U.S. citizen who was born in Afghanistan on Jan. 23, 1988, the FBI says, adding, "His last known address was in Elizabeth, New Jersey. He is about 5' 6" tall and weighs approximately 200 pounds. Rahami has brown hair, brown eyes, and brown facial hair."

The nice Jewish boy from the Yeshiva who is studying Torah.... Not! Always the Muzzie. Trump is right and Hillary needs to be taken to the wood shed along with the MSM.

Ahmad Khan Rahami. Sounds like an “angry white man” Trump supporter and NRA member with a confederate flag on his pickup truck to me. /s

The media must be disappointed it’s not a white TEA Party guy with a “Make America Great Again” baseball cap.

It must be killing NPR to have to announce yet another Muslim name as being involved with terrorism!

Have Obama / Hillary / Big Media made their infamous “but we must be careful to not blame the whole group for the actions of a few” speech yet? Hmmm ... maybe it IS time to start blaming the whole group!!

TRUMP WAS RIGHT AGAIN - ISLAMIC TERRORISM IS A CONTINUING MENACE THREATENING THE COUNTRY
