He is suspected of Saturday’s bombings in New York City and Seaside Park, New Jersey, and is believed to be connected to pipe bombs found Sunday night in Elizabeth, New Jersey, CNN quoted sources as saying.
The suspect, who is being held on $5.2m bail, was sleeping in the doorway of a bar when the owner reported him to police.
A photo of Rahami, published in the Edison High School yearbook when he graduated in 2007, shows him with a carefully groomed goatee, wearing a crimson vest and tie.
Two Linden police officers were also shot and hurt in the exchange, said the mayor of the suspect’s neighboring hometown Elizabeth.
Mr Rahami’s son was taken into custody after he was left bloodied and wounded in a shootout with police. During the raid, at around 10:30 AM, Linden police officers found a man lying outside of a bar, Captain James Sarnicki of the Linden Police Department said. Both are expected to recover. Cuomo said on Saturday that the state will be deploying an additional 1,000 state troopers and members of the National Guard throughout NY.
Harinder Bains, who said he had been watching CNN at another business across the street, recognized 28-year-old Rahami outside Merdie’s Tavern and alerted police. Investigators said they are still gathering evidence and have not publicly tied Rahami to those devices.
Rahami worked at his family’s fried chicken restaurant, on Elmora Avenue in Elizabeth.
An officer arrived and confronted Rahami, who pulled a gun and fired, authorities said.
One of his childhood friends, Flee Jones, said he had become serious, quiet and “way more religious” after a trip to Afghanistan several years ago.
“I never thought he would do something like this”.
Who is the suspect, and what did his wife know?
“I’m the only candidate in this race who has been part of the hard decisions to take terrorists off the battlefield”, Clinton said.
Rahami traveled to Pakistan in April 2013 and returned in March of the following year, according to a federal official.
Trump also said that “whatever lawful methods are available to obtain information” should be used on Rahami “to get information before it’s no longer timely”, and he called on Congress to “pass measures to ensure that foreign enemy combatants are treated as such”.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered 1,000 additional police officers and National Guard members to patrol New York City streets after the Chelsea bombing, which authorities have so far not tied to worldwide terrorism. The FBI questions and released them.
