Yet Another One

The father of the man suspected in bombings in New York City and New Jersey contacted the FBI following a 2014 stabbing to express concerns that his son was a terrorist, he told reporters on Tuesday.

“Two years ago I go to the FBI because my son was doing really bad, OK?” Mohammed Rahami told the New York Times. “But they check almost two months, they say, ‘He’s OK, he’s clean, he’s not a terrorist.’ I say OK.”

Ahmad Khan Rahami was arrested for stabbing a person in the leg and possession of a firearm in 2014. But a grand jury declined to indict him, despite a warning from the arresting officer that Rahami was likely “a danger to himself or others”.

So far Rahami has not been charged with terrorism offences, rather with five counts of attempted murder of a police officer and two second-degree weapons charges, all of which result from his arrest. More charges were expected to be brought against him in federal court, and on Tuesday the US attorney general, Loretta Lynch, said the explosions were being investigated “as an act of terror”. He is being held on $5.2m bail and remains in the hospital in critical but stable condition. Police have not yet been able to interview him in depth, New York police commissioner James O’Neill said on Tuesday.

I suppose they're reluctant to call this terrorism because the FBI didn't get the plot foiled before it happened.

I wonder if they have a guard on him. I suggest keeping the FBI out of the room.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
