| Bombings suspect spent time Afghanistan, Pakistan, official says |
| 2016-09-20 |
| [CNN] Ahmad Khan Rahami, the suspect in the weekend bombings in New York and New Jersey, traveled for extended periods to Afghanistan and Pakistan in the last few years, officials said. Rahami, 28, spent several weeks in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and Quetta, Pakistan, in 2011, according to a law enforcement official who reviewed his travel and immigration record. Two years later, in April 2013, he went to Pakistan and remained there until March 2014 before returning to the US, official said. Trout fishing? Paki NASCAR? Investigators are looking into whether he was radicalized overseas before returning to the United States in 2014, according to the official. As of Monday, the law enforcement official said, there is no indication he was on the radar before this weekend, when explosions went off in New York and New Jersey. Rahami and his family are from Afghanistan. He first came in January 1995, several years after his father arrived seeking asylum, the official said. He was given a US passport in 2003, while a minor, and again in 2007 after he said he lost his first one. He became a naturalized US citizen in 2011. Quetta is considered a stronghold of the Taliban. While there in July 2011, Rahami married a Pakistani woman. |

| #4 Quetta is considered a stronghold of the Taliban. Isn't that also where the Al Qaeda Olde Guard are hanging out? But we'll know which one our villain married into when his unnamed wife's name is revealed. |

| #2 Gee, wonder what he learned there? Come back with a few e-mail addresses and phone numbers? Does this make it "International" terrorism? |

| #1 Working at a Chicken diner must have paid fairly well. No mention of AFG or Quetta employment. Perhaps he packed a lot of chicken sandwiches for the trip. Certainly glad law enforcement was able to locate a photo and bio data on him so quickly. |
