Questions surround NY bomber Ahmad Khan Rahami’s manifesto praising known CIA-asset Anwar al-Awlaki as well as numerous visits to Afghanistan and Pakistan.A manifesto found on Rahami made mention of the Boston Marathon Bombing, as well as Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was reportedly killed by a US drone strike in Yemen.al-Awlaki, a known CIA and FBI asset who dined at the Pentagon shortly after 9/11, directly inspired the Chattanooga shooter, the Ft. Hood shooter, the underwear bomber and the Charlie Hebdo terrorists.“American-born cleric al-Awlaki’s role as a key figure in almost every recent terror plot targeting the United States and Canada, coupled with his visit to the Pentagon, only confirms our long stated position that al-Awlaki is a chief terrorist patsy-handler for the CIA – he is the federal government’s premier false flag agent,” wrote Paul Joseph Watson.Rahami’s high school girlfriend, with whom he has a child, expressedsurprise over his involvement in the bombings, despite prior comments denouncing American culture and homosexuality.“I never thought he would do something like this. I think he was brainwashed,” said the woman, identified only as Maria.A U.S. official said Rahami made at least three months-long trips to Afghanistan and Pakistan since 2014. During one trip to Pakistan in 2011, Rahami reportedly visited Quetta, a hotbed of Taliban activity.One of his friends noted that, upon returning from one of the trips, Rahami sported a beard and traditional Muslim robes; he reportedly began praying regularly in the back of his family’s fried chicken restaurant in Elizabeth, New Jersey.“It’s like he was a completely different person,” said Flee Jones, a childhood friend of Rahami. “He got serious and completely closed off.”Rahami met his wife in Pakistan, and procured a visa for her to come to the United States in 2012. Law enforcement officials are now looking to speak to the wife, who seemingly fled the United States to Pakistan, via the United Arab Emirates, just a few days before the attacks.______________________________________________________NY jihad bomber asked Congressmen for help to bring wife to US; wife left country days before jihad bombing

The father of the shooter should be questioned before he, too, vanishes. Meanwhile, the fact that the jihad bomber sought help from a Congressman to get his wife here is yet another illustration of how jihadis manipulate the system for their own advantage. The immigration system is in drastic need not just of reform, but of a total overhaul.“Chelsea bombing suspect’s wife left US days before attack,” by Jamie Schram, Tina Moore and Yaron Steinbuch, New York Post, September 20, 2016:________________________________________________________________________The wife of the Afghan immigrant suspected in the New York and New Jersey bombings left the US for Pakistan just a few days before the attacks, according to reports.The woman, who has not been named, has been intercepted by authorities in the United Arab Emirates, the Los Angeles Times reported.Officials are working with authorities in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates to question her about what she knew about her husband’s plans, a law enforcement source told CNN.Ahmad Khan Rahami, a naturalized US citizen, made at least three months-long trips to Pakistan and Afghanistan since 2014, officials said.He stayed in Pakistan for a year between April 2013 and March 2014, spending time in a Taliban stronghold, CNN reported.Rahami has clammed up and is refusing to cooperate with authorities, a source told The Post.“We are looking into who may have helped him in training, with money” and with other means, the source said. “His family is being looked at, too.”FBI Assistant Director William Sweeney said there was “no indication” of an active terror cell in the New York area — but evidence suggests Rahami was not acting alone, sources told CNN….O’Neill said the bombing had all the hallmarks of “an act of terror.”…Rep. Albio Sires (D-NJ) said Monday that Rahami contacted his office from Pakistan in 2014 seeking help because his pregnant wife had an expired Pakistani passport.“He wanted his wife to come from Pakistan,” Sires told MSNBC. “At the time she was pregnant and in Pakistan. They told her that she could not come over until she had the baby, because she had to get a visa for the baby.”…

His father never noticed the pressure cookers, the bomb parts — none of it? He should be closely questioned.BY BOB ADELMANN“‘I called the FBI 2 years ago!’: Chelsea bombing suspect’s dad,” by Kevin Sheehan and Yaron Steinbuch, New York Post, September 20, 2016:…After closing his New Jersey fried chicken restaurant, Mohammad Rahami was asked by reporters whether he had called the feds on his son.“Yes, I called the FBI,” he said as he drove off in his Chevy Suburban after speaking with FBI agents in Elizabeth, where he lives above his First American Fried Chicken joint.He also said he didn’t think his son is a terrorist. Asked why, he said: “Because the FBI — they know that.”The cryptic response followed one he made earlier, when he yelled, “I called the FBI two years ago!”…A day earlier, the elder Rahami said he had “no idea” about his son’s alleged bomb plots in New York and New Jersey.“My heart is very, very…,” he said before trailing off.Asked if he been aware of what his son was up to, he told NBC News: “No idea.”…A neighbor and former Marine who served in Afghanistan told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that “the father used to be a mujahedeen in Afghanistan.”“He is from the same city where I was deployed as a Marine,” Jonathan Wagner told Haaretz, adding that the father used to say the Taliban were ruining Afghanistan.An agent has confirmed that Mohammad Rahami really did call the feds, but then retracted his claims about his son: “Ahmad Rahami’s dad accused son of being a terrorist in 2014,” by Kevin Johnson, USA Today, September 20, 2016:_______________________________________________________________________New York bombing suspect Ahmad Rahami surfaced on the FBI’s radar about two years ago when Rahami’s father allegedly referred to his son as a terrorist, a federal law enforcement official told USA TODAY on Tuesday.The reference came during a domestic dispute involving the family, prompting the FBI to review the father’s claims, according to the official who was not authorized to comment publicly.The official said the matter was closed in part because the father recanted his claim, and there was nothing to substantiate it.East Coast Bomber’s Father Warned Police About His Son in 2014

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:In 2014, the East Coast bomber’s father told FBI agents that his son was a terrorist. The father, Mohammad Rahami, told the New York Times:Two years ago I go to the FBI because my son [Ahmad Khan Rahami, shown] was doing really bad, O.K.? But they check almost two months [and] they say: “He’s O.K., he’s clean, he’s not a terrorist.”I say O.K.It’s not OK. The father did the right thing: acting as the first line of defense against a radical jihadists who threatened innocents. The FBI investigation, called an “assessment,” failed to turn up enough evidence to so much as put Ahmad on a watch list.Yet after the bombings, evidence turned up that previously should have triggered more than a cursory “nothing to see here, move along” from the police or the FBI. To wit: The terrorist made several trips abroad between 2010 and 2014, including a year’s stay in Pakistan. His notebook, recovered at the scene of his arrest, following the attack in New York, revealed a follower of Anwar al-Awlaki (al-Qaeda’s leading propagandist, who was killed five years ago in Yemen) and a supporter of Nidal Hassan, the murderer of soldiers at Fort Hood.In addition Ahmad spent three months in jail for attacking and knifing his brother. Didn’t that register on the assessment screen?Apparently not. That “assessment” didn’t even involve a conversation with the accused bomber. Two months: no evidence, no concerns, no conversation?The FBI said that the father's "terrorist" accusation against his son was later renounced by the father.An official, when asked about the inquiry, said the father made the comment out of anger at his son and later recanted.Mr. Rahami was charged with aggravated assault and illegal weapons possession, according to court records. He spent over three months in jail, according to a law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation. A grand jury, however, declined to indict Mr. Rahami. Assistant director William F. Sweeney, who heads the F.B.I.’s New York office, alluded on Monday at a news conference to a “domestic incident” in which he said the “allegations were recanted.”If lone-wolf jihadists are to be stopped, or even slowed, at least two things must happen: Non-jihadist Muslims must not remain silent when terrorists exist in their midst, plotting, planning, and carrying out their acts of terror. If they don’t, then every Muslim in the country will be painted with the same brush: You’re all terrorists!And investigations such as the “assessment” that revealed nothing must go deeper and reach further in order to identify those who would harm U.S. citizens. Without at least these two changes, more lone-wolf attacks by disaffected Muslim terrorists posing as Americans can be expected to maim and kill innocents.
