Our federal, state, and municipal law enforcement agency captured Ahmad Khan Rahami within 36 hours. We should give our agencies kudos when they work as they should.
Ahmad Khan Rahami caught
According to the Huffington Post,
Ahmad Khan Rahami, the 28-year-old suspect wanted in connection with an explosion Saturday night in Manhattan, has been arrested.
Police captured Rahami in Linden, New Jersey, Monday morning after a brief shootout, CNN and NBC reported.
Officials suspect Rahami is connected to an explosive device that detonated in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood this weekend, injuring 29 people. A second device, described as a pressure-cooker bomb, was found nearby.
Authorities also suspect Rahami may be connected to a small bomb that detonated along the route of a 5K race in a New Jersey beach town Saturday morning. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said “there are similarities” in the devices found in New York and New Jersey.
