"After he came back from Afghanistan two years ago, he became real religious"

Edwin Mora reports for Breitbart,

Authorities have taken into custody a 28-year-old U.S. citizen of Afghan descent, Ahmad Khan Rahami, who has been linked to planting two pressure cooker bombs in New York City on Saturday that wounded 29 people and suspected of placing several other similar explosive devices throughout New Jersey as part of a bombing spree.

The New York Times (NYT) reports:

The dramatic arrest of the man, Ahmad Khan Rahami, came after the police issued a cellphone alert to millions of residents in the area telling them to be on the lookout for the suspect, who was described as ‘armed and dangerous.’

Mr. Rahami, 28, was identified on surveillance video near the locations of both the bomb that exploded in Chelsea [NYC] and another device that did not detonate a few blocks away… It remained unclear whether there were other suspects who the police were searching for in the connection with the bombing.

Rahami is a United States citizen of Afghan descent. It is unclear when he became a citizen. However, it is known that he traveled back to Afghanistan a few years ago with his family.

His last known address was in Elizabeth, New Jersey where he lived with his family after emigrating from Afghanistan.

He reportedly lived with three brothers, a sister, and their father.
