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."

OK, Let’s not be Islamaphobic, I’m sure this was his Amish given name.

AOL Headline

NYPD releases photo of suspect wanted in bombing Ahmad Khan Rahami, a 28-year-old male, is being sought in connection with the Chelsea bombing, according to officials on Monday.

Described as a male, but no mention of him being a whacko muzzie!

All I can think about is the 110,000 Syrian refugee number on schedule for next year. Trump's first order of business is to stop this immigration madness from the Middle East. This has to end, now.

Ahmad Khan Rahami

to my knowledge, name sounds Pakistani.

One of the countries from whom the USA should simply BAN travel of its citizens into the USA.

“Wonder who let this one in ? And how many more are out there scheming to do similar things?”....

Seems there were SEVERAL involved with this one.

NOTHING will change until the terrorists efforts DIRECTLY effect or hit any political leader, hopefully a politician of major importance.

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

But whatever you do, don't hurt him to try to protect yourself - that would be anti-religious bigotry.....

I'm surprised the headline doesn't read, “Ahmad Khan Rahami, a 28-year-old New jersey man....”

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

Hopefully they will notice the link to their site and read our comments :)

With the name of "Khan" he is, without doubt, Pakistani. That name is like "Smith" in Pakistan.
If he's a Pakistani, then he is NOT an Arab. They make SURE the world knows that since they look down on Arabs. But he IS Muslim. He probably got thrown out of his country a la bin Laden for being an a-hole.

If he were Amish...he's be in Pennsylvania! :o)

Article says he was born in Afghanistan .
We shouldn’t be letting anyone from there into the country either .

Pakistan is a dump, but it's Obama's favorite place.

My guess is he had a gay lover from Pock-EE-Stan.

I BELIEVE THE FBI KNEW THE NAME OF THIS GUY SINCE YESTERDAY BUT WAS UNDER PRESSURE NOT TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW WHILE THIS KUSLIM MAYOR OF LONDON WAS GUEST IN NY AT THE NYC METS BASEBALL GAME INVITED TO THROW THE FIRST PITCH AND DIDN'T WANT HIM GET ANY QUESTIONS OR TROUBLE FROM THE PUBLIC! I BELIEVE OBAMA IS BEHIND MAKING SURE NO ONE KNEW THE AFGHANI TERRORIST WHILE THE "HAPPY MUSLIM" MAYOR IS PARADED AS OBAMA'S MUSLIM BOY:
