New York bombing: Suspect has no connection to extremist movement, says FBI
The suspect in the bombing this month in New York\'s Chelsea neighbourhood appears to have acted on his own, with no connection to an extremist movement, the FBI said on Tuesday.
​Washington: The suspect in the bombing this month in New York's Chelsea neighbourhood appears to have acted on his own, with no connection to an extremist movement, the FBI said on Tuesday.
"We see so far no indication of a larger cell or the threat of related attacks," FBI director James Comey testified at a Senate committee hearing.
The suspect in the September 17 bombing that left 31 people wounded, Ahmad Khan Rahami, was arrested in New Jersey two days after the attack.
He was wounded in a shootout with police as they closed in to arrest him. He has remained hospitalised and is unable to appear before a judge, according to the New Jersey prosecutor's office.
US prosecutors, in a 13-page indictment on September 20, slapped him with four charges, including use of weapons of mass destruction.
In addition to the New York attack, he is charged with a pipe bombing, also on September 17, in Seaside Park, New Jersey, and planting several other bombs.
A naturalised US citizen born in Afghanistan, Rahami, 28, made several trips in recent years to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
