A US magistrate judge late Wednesday said he accepted that position.

“It’s clear from this journal that Mr. Rahami was receiving inspiration from the ISIS spokesman, Mr. Adnani”, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul said Wednesday. “He does not have a scheduled court appearance in New Jersey until next week”, Patton said.
Linden Patrolman Angel Padilla is visiting Linden School No. 5 on Thursday. The officer was saved by his bulletproof vest.
Another police officer was grazed by a bullet.
One of the officials said Wednesday that Ahmad Khan Rahami’s wife made a statement to authorities after walking into the U.S. Embassy in the United Arab Emirates.
She had voluntarily met with U.S. law enforcement authorities while in the United Arab Emirates this week and gave a statement. The case is being treated by authorities as an act of terrorism.
Rahami’s wife is thought to be a Pakistani national.
But there’s extremely limited and unsettled precedent legal for doing that when a suspect is captured on US soil.
In 2014, Rahami contacted Congressman Albio Sires’ office from Islamabad, saying he was concerned about his wife’s passport and visa.

The father of the man charged with setting off bombs in NY and New Jersey said on Friday that he informed the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2014 about his son’s apparent radicalization. They then took the luggage and left.
None of the packages turned out to contain explosives.

A pressure-cooker bomb packed with shrapnel exploded Saturday evening in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood. A second bomb discovered blocks away didn’t explode. This frame from surveillance video released by the New Jersey State Police shows Ahmad Khan Rahami, wanted for questioning Monday, Sept. 19, 2016, in bombings that rocked the Chelsea neighborhood of NY and the Ne.
The FBI released an image of the two men that it says was captured on closed circuit television recordings between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. on West 27th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues.
A filing by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in federal court in Newark on Thursday said that Rahami, 28 of Elizabeth, “is now incapacitated and intubated” as he recovers from multiple gunshot wounds that he suffered in a gun battle with the police in Linden when he was arrested on Monday.
Leaders called Rahami misguided and say people who follow extremist teachings are criminals.
U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said he will be moved to NY soon to face federal charges in the case.
Lynch spoke Wednesday at an International Bar Association conference.
Though the Obama administration – facing stiff opposition – abandoned its 2009 plan to transfer some Guantanamo Bay detainees to Manhattan federal court for trial, the Justice Department has since cited a series of high-profile successes – including one in NY against the son-in-law of Osama bin Laden – as proof that the USA criminal justice system can secure swift convictions and harsh punishment against terrorism defendants. It’ll be unusual since many defendants charged with terror-related crimes are intercepted before committing violence.
Ahmad Rahami was taken into police custody after a shootout that left him injured.
A judge has granted temporary sole custody to the mother of a child whose father has been charged with planting bombs in NY and New Jersey. Sources tell Eyewitness News that Ahmad Khan Rahami rode a train into Manhattan and placed the pressure cookers in Chelsea while possibly carrying the pipe bombs in his backpack. At the time of that interview, Rahami was in jail following a family dispute in which he stabbed one of his relatives. They also said that he had been planning the bombings for months and purchased numerous items for the explosive devices on eBay, using his real name as a user name.
In law enforcement interviews with family members, Rahami was described as behaving normally.
Federal terrorism charges were filed against Rahami on Tuesday night. He says he advised agents to “keep an eye on him”.
Federal agents have attempted to question Rahami in the hospital. “We have no reason to believe they’re connected”.
A federal judge has denied a public defender’s request that the man charged in bombings in the New York City-region be appointed a lawyer. One bomb injured 31 people in Manhattan.
The FBI said these two men are not wanted but instead wish to speak with them as potential witnesses.
