Citing anonymous law enforcement sources, Williams reported Rahami was jailed for the domestic incident.
She’s now in the United Arab Emirates, where she’s spoken with USA officials, a U.S. official said.
Mena said she and Ahmad Khan Rahami have a child together, but that “neither my child nor I have had any physical contact with him in more than two years”. They took out the device, but left it at the scene.
The Afghanistan-born American restaurant worker, who lives in Elizabeth, New Jersey, was critically wounded in a police shootout on Monday.
Police officers had responded to a call from the owner of a tavern who was suspicious of a bearded man sleeping in the doorway. An officer approached the man and told him to put his hands up.
“One police officer in the city of Linden was shot in the chest and one was shot in the hand”.
A total of 31 people were wounded in the Chelsea bombing, which Rahami allegedly created by using a pressure cooker packed with ball bearings and steel nuts, along with a timer.
She has not been accused of any wrongdoing in connection with Saturday’s bombings in NY and New Jersey.
The charges were filed in federal courts in both Lower Manhattan and Newark, and stem from the bombings in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, and the bombing in Chelsea – both on Saturday. An unexploded pressure cooker with a cellphone attached and wires protruding was found four blocks away; it was taken to a firing range, where it was safely detonated. Ahmad Rahami was not interviewed during the assessment, according to CBS News. The men are not wanted as suspects, as the Federal Bureau of Investigation released a “Seeking Information” poster instead of a “Wanted” poster. They promptly turned the backpack into police.

“We have a video of two persons who picked up the bag, took the device out of it and then walked off with the bag”, NY chief of detectives Robert Boyce told a news conference Monday.
