Long before Ahmad Rahami became notorious as the suspect in this weekend’s bombings in and around New York, his family was known in Elizabeth, New Jersey, for frequent skirmishes with neighbors over its fried chicken restaurant.
Authorities capture Ahmad Khan Rahami after a shootout Monday, September 19, 2016, with police in Linden, New Jersey.
Rahami, a 28-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in Afghanistan, had a few other brushes with the law on his own, records show.
Described as a “class clown” by a high school classmate, he studied criminal justice before dropping out of a community college. Source.
