| Rahami's wife skedaddled two days before bombings | |
| 2016-09-20 | |
| The wife of bombing suspect Ahmad Khan Rahami left the US a few days before the NY, NJ bombings, an official says. US officials want to speak with her, a law enforcement official said on condition of anonymity. The official didn't provide details about her travels but said authorities are working with officials in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates to gain access to her. Her timeline in the United States wasn't immediately clear. Rahami had tried earlier this decade to petition to bring his wife to the United States from Pakistan, though it wasn't clear when he succeeded. A law enforcement official told CNN that Rahami filed the paperwork in 2011, and it was approved in 2012. Then, in 2014, Rahami contacted the office of US Rep. Albio Sires, D-New Jersey, from Islamabad, Pakistan, saying he was concerned about his wife's passport and visa. It turned out her Pakistani passport had expired and the consulate wouldn't give her an immigrant visa until the passport was renewed, Sires said. Once the passport was renewed, she found out she was pregnant, and officials told her they wouldn't give a visa until she had the baby, Sires said. They also told her an immigrant visa would be needed for the baby after the birth. At that point, Rahami claims the consulate told him to go back to Karachi, Pakistan, but he claimed it was too dangerous to go there. The congressman doesn't know what happened after that.

| #10 #9 I'm sure they'll all resurface at a Hillary rally. Again. Notice how the mainstream media made *nothing* out of that murderous asshole's father showing up at Hillary's appearance earlier. They deserve to suffer the consequences of their choices. |

| #7 Perhaps I shouldn't ask, but has anyone heard from Katherine Russell, pressure cooker collector and wife of the late Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev ? And what about brother Tamerlan? He never writes, he never calls. |

| #3 About Mother Rahimi, from Frank G's link: Rahami’s mother left for Turkey three weeks before the attacks and has not yet returned to the US, according to the Daily Mail, which cited an ABC News report. Turkey seems an odd place for a traditional Aghan matron to visit on her own... |
