Cops seek two men who found Chelsea bomb that never detonated

The two men, dressed in casual clothes, were captured on video Saturday between 8 and 9 p.m. on W. 27th St. between 6th and 7th Aves., police said. Fox News is told that she voluntarily gave a statement to USA officials in the United Arab Emirates.

U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch said Wednesday Rahami would face terror charges in NY first, and that the Department of Justice planned to bring him to the city “in the near future”.

Initial attempts to question Rahami, who is recovering from multiple gunshot wounds suffered in a shootout with New Jersey police prior to his capture, have been unsuccessful, the federal official said.

The appeal comes a day after federal authorities charged Ahmad Rahami, the lone suspect in the weekend bombing campaign in NY and New Jersey, with four federal terror-related counts, including the use of a weapon of mass destruction.

Rahami is also charged with planting a bomb that went off in Seaside Park, New Jersey, but did not injure anyone.

In court papers, a public defender sought a court appearance for Rahami, an Afghan-born US citizen, so he can hear the federal terrorism charges against him.

Officials said the men are witnesses and are in no danger of being arrested.

“I think they were more interested in the bag, not what they were taking out”, Watters said, adding that they were “very, very lucky” the bomb didn’t explode. “The Sixth Amendment (of the U.S. Constitution) requires that he be given access to counsel on the federal charges, and that he be presented without delay”. The 27th street bomb never exploded.

Although Ahmad Rahami has been characterized by officials as the only suspect in the bombing campaign so far, court documents supporting the federal charges filed Tuesday suggested another person – likely a family member – may have had some information about the suspect’s planning. “Death to your oppression”. It’s possible that the bombings were inspired, rather than directed, by a group like ISIS or Al Qaeda.

Other parts of the 28-year-old’s journal allegedly praise “Brother” Osama bin Laden; Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Muslim cleric and leading al Qaeda propagandist who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Yemen in 2011; and Nidal Hasan, the U.S. Army psychiatrist who shot dead 13 people and wounded 32 at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009.

The improvised explosive device (IED) was discovered hours after an explosion in Chelsea that injured 31 people.

Federal investigators were also probing Rahami’s history of travel to Afghanistan and Pakistan, and looking for any evidence that he may have picked up radical views or trained in bomb-making on those trips. Surveillance video places him in the area, and his fingerprints were on unexploded devices including a pressure-cooker bomb found blocks away from the blast.
