Bomb Explodes At New Jersey Train Station As Police Discover Five Explosive Devices
One day after an IED exploded in a busy midtown Manhattan sidewalk, an explosion took place at a train station in Elizabeth, New Jersey, after a suspicious backpack was found. The detonation was "not controlled", the city's mayor said. Meanwhile, the FBI has questioned five people in connection with Saturday’s Manhattan blast. Elizabeth's mayor, Christian Bollwage, said the blast occurred when authorities were trying to "disarm" the backpack, and that the explosion was not controlled.

Moments ago, the NYPD announced that it seeking 28-year-old Ahmad Khan Rahami of New Jersey in connection to the pressure-cooker bomb, assistant commissioner J. Peter Donald said. Rahami is a naturalized US citizen from Afghanistan. According to the DOJ he is 5'6" tall, and weighs approximately 200 pounds. He has brown hair, brown eyes and brown facial hair.

According to CNN, the investigation into both the New York and New Jersey bombings is leading authorities to signs of a possible terror cell in those two states.

Police have arrested 28-year-old Ahmad Rahami, the alleged suspect behind the bombings in Elizabeth, New Jersey and the Manhattan neighborhood of Chelsea, after a shoot-out in Linden, New Jersey. Two officers were hit in the shootout with Ahmad Khan Rahami in Linden, New Jersey, the mayor of the nearby city of Elizabeth said. One officer's vest was struck, and the other was shot in the hand.
Rahami, who according to NBC was also shot, was taken to an ambulance in a stretcher with his right shoulder bloodied and bandaged.

The alleged Afghani-born bomber, whose fingerprint was found on an unexploded device, was hunted in connection with the explosions that sparked fears of a local terror cell, according to federal officials. Earlier Monday, FBI agents raided the Elizabeth, New Jersey, home of Rahami, a naturalized US citizen who was deemed armed and dangerous, Mayor Bill de Blasio said.

BTW, what does the neighborhood being gentrified have to do with anything?

It's supposed to add to the shock and horror and the visual scenery. These are (and you have to imagine me as a Southern General here) Civilized Folk, doncha know. Innocent civilians going on about their day-to-day and those damned Yanke- I mean- Jihadis would do something so heinous to interrupt our peace. Damn them, I say!

I notice that she has made a point of changing the thread title to try and give Trump credit for this and boost his profile. Like the earnest little Trump campaigner she is. Somehow a terrorist setting off a bomb and injuring 29 people = credit for Donald Trump - I know not how.

While the police previously described the mall shooter as Hispanic, according to unconfirmed reports - as the police still hasn't released the suspect's name - the identity of the shooter is Arcan Cetin, aged 20, who according to his Facebook profile is originally Turkish, from the city of Adana.

Interesting concept - nice, neat packaging, good for teaching children.

I find discussing and understanding people's motives helps better understand their ideas. Which rung would that be?
