Ahmad Khan Raham manhunt (Updated)
Fox News reports that the FBI has a person of interest in the New York City bombing. His name is Ahmad Khan Raham, a good Irish name, probably a Catholic choirboy.
“Today I believe we’re going to find out that [the bombing] was influenced by foreign sources,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday on”Fox & Friends.”
The search for Rahami comes hours after federal authorities on Sunday night conducted a traffic stop in Brooklyn of a “vehicle of interest” in the Chelsea bombing. A law enforcement source told Fox News that a “number of individuals” who are possibly connected to the explosion were taken into custody.
Law enforcement officials told the Associated Press that at least five men were being questioned after the Brooklyn traffic stop.
Ahmad Khan Raham is Afghan by birth and a naturalized US citizen from Elizabeth, New Jersey. According to Fox, the FBI raided a home in Elizabeth and they found five more explosive devices, one of which detonated when they tried to disarm it.
But the real story about all of this is that Donald Trump told a crowd that it was a bomb that caused the explosion before it had been confirmed.
UPDATE: Busted;
Two police officers were injured in the gun fight, but both are expected to recover. One took a round to his vest, the other, a wound to his hand.

Hey, ole Ahmad. I hope you fight the cops, so they can blow you away.
Then you get your 74 virgins, fucking you up the ass for etermity.
Happy Paradise!
Is it just me, or did he have his eyebrows waxed? Don’t those guys all have that caveman single eyebrow thingy?
He’s a unibrow, it’s not captured to well in the photo, but you could see it.
A Muslim immigrant is wanted for questioning with respect to an IED explosion in a major metropolitan area. It’s okay, though because the mayor said that it didn’t appear to be connected to terrorism.
I’m shocked.
Yeah. What a surprise.
I really, really thought it was the Amish this time.
Why do all these guys in these stories seem to have names like “Ahmed” or “Mohammad” or “Omar” or some such? It’s a total mystery.
Chin up. He still could be Amish. I know this because neither the mayor of NYC nor the governor of NY has ruled it out.
Beware the Amish, those dastardly fellows.
The Muslims are just doing all these bombings in retaliation to the evil Amish.
W#asn’t that Guv “homo” cuomo that said that?
They say he’s armed and dangerous, but the gun laws in NY/NJ should have prevented that, right??
“Aren’t ye a wee bit auld t’be a’ believin’ in Leprechauns, laddie?”
“I’ll believe that when me shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet.”
Faith, an’ I’m after believin’ whatever ’tis the clintoons and them poo-liticians tells me. Went to collich, they did! Bejabbers!
I Hear that whoever is the new POTUS will give the one who sends this rag head to meet his 72 virgin goats a Presidential Medal of Freedom and will ask Congress to award that person a Congressional Gold Medal.
I haven’t seen the “No Terrorist Allowed” signs, yet. That should fix things…..
Yeah, the real story is that Trump irresponsibly jumped the gun on this, calling the bom a bomb before officials concluded it was a bomb. It could well have been something else, such as a gas leak into a dumpster in which someone discarded a lit cigarette or maybe an old car battery that ‘sploded. It is much more important to the media that Trump be faulted than it is to wonder how some terrorist who perfectly fits the profile of the “refugees” we don’t want here made some bombs and detonated one or two.
One other thing. The harder the media try to discredit Trump, the more popular he becomes. They just don’t get it. Of course it was a f’n bomb. To borrow from Dylan, you don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. And we don’t need mealy-mouthed politicians or media members to tell us when it’s okay to state the obvious.
Hillary called it a bomb about the same time Trump did, CNN declined to show that particular statement. This is my shocked face.
And then Hillary turns around and tries to criticize Trump for the same fucking exact thing she did.
Swear to Christ, if we had a truly unbiased media, she’d be down 25 points by now.
You mean for something like accepting endorsements or money from the KKK? Surely that is EVIL for him to allegedly do…and no big thing for her to have done.
The morning report was ‘no apparent connection’ but that’s the Lame Stream Media. They don’t want to offend anybody, but by refusing to acknowledge that possibility, they offend a lot of people.
On the other hand, the media have always had this knack for turning gossip into a witch hunt, so maybe if they’re silent on whodunit, it’s just as well.
But if Trump runs his mouth ahead of time, well, by Hannah, that’s the REAL news EVEN IF SHRILLARY DID IT, TOO.
The linked Yahoo story can make you wonder if Marissa Mayer finds her writers on Craigslist. It wasn’t just that Trump called it a bomb before the official determination. Here’s part of the nut graf:
“Trump’s campaign has not responded to multiple requests for comment from Yahoo News about how he may have obtained information about the cause of the explosion that was not publicly available.”
Notice the innuendo for how he might have had something to do with it?
And what did I say, Perry? The Lame Slime Media can start a witch hunt with a box of wet kitchen matches.
Hadn’t seen your comment when posting my own, ma’am. Notice the time stamps.
Oh, that’s okay. I’m seldom on time any more, since I retired. 🙂
Hey folks. Donald did indeed jump the gun.
The “officials” had not yet ruled out that it might have just been the ground shaking after Hillary “Humpty Dumpty” Clinton fainted and fell to the ground before anyone could catch her or brace her fall. Can you imagine the shock wave?
I knew it wasn’t Hillary falling down in the City because I’d have felt it up here near Syracuse.
When it’s raining outside, I don’t wait for somebody to tell me it’s raining; I can pretty much draw that conclusion myself. And when a bomb goes off, it’s generally pretty darn obvious (especially when it goes off in a dumpster) what the cause is. Maybe it’s not though, because certain cretins in the press and certain politicians don’t seem to be able to recognize it. Maybe they think they’re smarter than I, but they’re incorrect on that also.
Bill M: No, they not only think they are smarter than you, but also better than you.
Also, we aren’t allowed to draw conclusions any longer because, well, that would be racist and islamophobic. Even when stating the obvious, it’s not allowed. Those are the new rules. Please abide. Resistance is futile.
I want Trump to win if for no other reason than to turn down all requests for interviews from MSM. He should tell them to get THEIR news from Drudge.
And yet another argument for a crackdown on immigration laws, as well as for getting one’s CHL.
And maybe for making the Norks and Iran glow in the dark…
Hillary is checking with donors in Holliewood and NY plus the news media, POTUS is checking with BLM and the Black Cacus a joint press release will be issued sometime. Nothing to see,move along
This is my look of shock.
He looks kind of Presbyterian to me. Never did trust them Scots Presbyterians. Nothing but troublemakers, all of them.
Papist!!!!
I’m so tired of this shit. Screw these Islamic immigrants and send them back to, I don’t give a damned, anywhere but here. the notion that being here in America and enjoying our freedoms will somehow change them is absolute bullshit. This ass hole was naturalized and still hated all to do with we infidels. So Obama, what an ass licking, cocksucker, really thinks they will change. I disagree. I believe the only thing that changes there mind is a round going through it. Obama and his ilk live in the comfort of armed protection and will the rest of his worthless life, so why would he give a shit what he brings in to destroy our country? Fuck him and fuck them. I’m coming to a point where folks who tell me that if I don’t swear allegiance to Allah, I will be beheaded, should be told okay, you believe in who you want but if you don’t swear allegiance to this country you get, 1) deported or 2) shot or 3) there is no 3. Sorry folks I am a little grumpy this morning.
Apologies for the poor spelling and grammar. Bad morning.
Oh, don’t hold back, Sparks.
Get off the fence, Sparks. Take a stand and stick with it.
Don’t mince words, Sparks. What do you REALLY think?
Yeah, this guy looks and sounds absolutely nothing whatsoever like what I expected.
/sarc
I hope that they capture this guy, and any accomplices, alive this time so that they can really put the squeeze on them. We need to find out what they know, who they know, how they receive their logistical and financial support, etc. We also need to crack their command and control structure.
Enough already.
Now we all heard the mayor of New York City yesterday, let’s not be hasty in jumping to any sorts of conclusions about who he is or what his motives were….
Oh No, one less vote for illary.
Khan is probably a misunderstood dreamer who just wants to vote for Hillary. They will probably have him at the White House next week. His nick name will be “IED boy”.
How much you wanna bet at least one vote will be cast in his name.
If it’s only one I’ll be happy….
They say he is “armed and dangerous”. Of course that is BS because being armed in NY is against the law. Unless you are a MCPO.
Does anyone have the military background on Ahmad Khan Raham? When did he serve? What branch? How many deployments did he do?
Maybe he was just a disgruntled veteran who subscribes to far-right-wing ideologies.
//sarc//
And he caught the PTSD? Does he have a dog? A vest?
He has a wimpy beard for sure.
The shithead is in custody. Apparently shot at police before apprehension.
The little goat molester wasn’t much at running. Here’s one link I found, I wonder if their rounds were on target or is the little SHIT is still wasting oxygen?
http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2016/09/19/chelsea-blast-suspect/
Mid-day news shows him with an arm bandaged, so he got winged. He was also being sought after someone found him sleeping in the hallway of a bar. They thought he was a vagrant.
May he take to the woods and get ass raped by a wild boar before being shot to death by LE or Country Folks. Another adherent to the “Religion of Peace”? ALLAH PIG SHIT!!!
Aloha snackbar!
We’ll, if he’s captured alive, he’s going to end up as Bubba, Thor, Julio, and Hakim’s chair boy. 🙄
The pig fucking cockbag has been captured after a shootout with police.
Any details??????????
I put an update on my blog too.
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/09/19/person-interest-to-named-in-nyc-bombing.html
Two cops injured, and Haji here left on a gurney.
“Elizabeth Mayor Christian Bollwage said county authorities told him the officers shot in Linden are expected to be okay. He said one officer was struck in a protective vest and the other in the hand.
Rahami was also injured during the incident. Cameras captured him being loaded on a stretcher into an ambulance.”
Better if in a bag headed to the undertaker.
Saturday I said that they would bag him this week. It didn’t take them long. It appears that he was already on their radar. His prints and DNA were found on his unexploded devices and they had his name within hours of the Jersey Shore blast. It has been reported that he sued the police for harassing muslems. He seems like the kind of guy that would have used a certain disbarred lawyer from FLa.
He was employed by First American Fried Chicken over in New jersey. Oh the irony.
Good luck in the federal prison system,Amhad, you will have a long time to get used to it.
“Good luck in the federal prison system,Amhad, you will have a long time to get used to it.”
Not before he gets sweated for his accomplices’ names. Now where did I put that water board?
I’ll bring the jumper cables, battery, hose, lighter….
I’ve got a spare field telephone that I can loan out…
Ah, the Bell telephone hour! One ringy dingy, two ringy dingys!
Amateurs. What you need is a CV-1548 ring converter. A cleaner, more consistent ring voltage and none of that bothersome cranking!

Finding his prints would result in a quick ID, if DHS is doing their job correctly when processing immigration and citizenship requests. I’m pretty sure that fingerprints are required.
Unfortunately, DHS doesn’t always get that part right.
You mean the 800 or so folks who were approved for US citizenship while on a deportation list?
What was his motivation? Was he frustrated at not having a job? Was there a movie that upset him? Did The Donald trigger him? /sarc
He was pissed off that Sav a Lot was out of macon.
He set up a date with Elaine Ricci on Too Many Goats In The Barn, and she stood him up.
He also just found out that his immigration lawyer has been disbarred.
He was gonna fly away but his airplane ran out of fuel.
Cocksucker.
Not wishing for the loud noises about it, but the muslim community is concerned that they’re going to be ‘targeted’ now, by some groups. That is how the media reported the response to Raham’s capture.
Maybe the Muslim community could speak up against their radicalized brethren, maybe even act in such a manner that would help differentiate them from the islamists… nahhhh who am I kidding.
They better clean their house before someone else does…
https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20160919/chelsea/thieves-helped-crack-chelsea-bombing-case-sources-say
The [thieves], who sources described as being well-dressed, opened the bag and took the bomb out … before placing the explosive into a garbage bag and walking away with the rolling suitcase.
[…]
“Who in this world finds a pressure cooker with a phone and just takes the bag?” a law enforcement source said.
Well, thieves or not, good for them.
Sources at the FBI Laboratory in Quantico VA have confirmed that the unexplored bombs contained coconuts.
With mailbox door shrapnel?
That VW bug looks like a connection to white nationalist’s.
extra sarc
Slug Bug, no punch back!
BOOM!
Well, now – shrillary is accusing the Donald of recruiting militants for the purpose of — I’m sorry, I can’t type this with a straight face. She’s blaming it all on Trump.
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-idUSKCN11P1EZ
She says he’s declaring a war on islam.
Well, since they’ve already declared a war on the rest of the world, is she making a point? Or is she being just plain stupid?
If she’s that out of touch with what extremists and their mentors are doing, she should not be given any job more responsible than one that has her bussing tables at a roadside diner.
That’s the drugs speaking.
You’re too kind.
Nah, we can’t have her collapsing on the table and ruining appetites.
I think he’s going to try the Hillary defense and blame Pepe the white racist cartoon frog for it.
Wait just a second!
Are you telling me that Trump said a bomb caused the explosion? What kind of asshole thinks that bombs are the cause of random explosion in the middle of a crowded city block? I mean, come on, really? Bombs must be the new Conservative buzzword for racists! Yeah, that’s it. Trump meant racists, which means he is racist.
My god, I can’t even finish that. The dumb is too intense. I wish people would start talking about actual issues rather than the definition of the word is. I need whiskey.
Don’t forget your horses; they need beer!
Screw the horses! I was in Supply, not butt-fuckery… I mean Cav.
OK, the beard is a dead give away. He’s one of those radical Amish guys. No doubt about it.
I’m assuming that is Ahmad Khan Rahami in the photo. He’s a fat slob. No mention of a job. Any wagers he’s on public assistance, including food stamps? Could he possibly be feeding his fat face with our money while plotting our murder?
All this is ‘alleged’ of course. He could be a high salary ‘CEO-In-Training’ at a Florida company.
Dammit, I was SURE it was NRA backed White Racist KKK Neo Nazis….or Amish Terr’s.
Reuters sometimes digs up stuff that may or may not be useful. They provided this article this morning.
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-attacks-rahami-idUSKCN11P1ZI
What I take away from it is that he was at loose ends, not interested in anything at all, and constantly getting into minor difficulty with local law enforcement.
Then he found an excuse to ‘get even’ with people for imagined wrongs.
The fact that the neighbors were complaining about people pissing outside his family’s hole-in-the-wall chicken shack had nothing to do with it.
Other reports say he’d made periodic visits to “family” in Afghanistan, returning radicalized after the last visit; had openly expressed distain for America; was openly anti-gay, claiming that there are “no gays” in that land of bacha bazi, Afghanistan; and had posted radical Islamic screed on a personal website.

But he wasn’t on any Federal anti-terrorism watch list, likely because he had attained US citizenship.
