Nothing to do with overseas terrorism at all...

And the stabbing spree at the MN mall...A Somali. Off-Duty cop. also a USPSA and 3Gun competitor ended it.

Ahmad Rahami, Suspect in N.Y., N.J. Bombings, in Custody: Sources

ELIZABETH, N.J. — The 28-year-old New Jersey man wanted in connection with a series of blasts that terrorized New York and New Jersey over the last three days was taken into custody Monday after being shot, two sources told NBC News.

Ahmad Rahami of Elizabeth, New Jersey, was identified as a suspect after a fingerprint was found on one of the devices that failed to detonate, a senior law enforcement official told NBC News.

They also found more information that pointed to Rahami on cell phones that were wired to the unexploded bombs, the official said.

"He certainly seemed to do virtually nothing to cover his tracks," the official says.

But the official downplayed any talk of Rahimi being part of a "cell" and said at this point have no idea whether anyone else was involved.

Asked whether the bombings were ISIS-inspired or directed, the official said authorities have no idea: "We're a long way from that."

Still, the FBI warned that Rahami should be considered armed and dangerous. And New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said officials could not rule out international terrorism.

"Today's information suggests it may be foreign related, but we'll see where it goes," Cuomo said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Monday.

Glad they caught the prick.

Quoted from the NY Times...

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who said on Sunday that the attack did not appear to have a link to international terrorism, said new evidence might change that thinking.
“I would not be surprised if we did have a foreign connection to the act,” he said on CNN on Monday morning.

Are we sure the guy's a muslim? Maybe he's just a radical catholic?

Well it wasn't a bombing.

Therefore it wasn't terrorism.

Which means it wasn't a Muslim and thus not Islamic terrorism.

Besides, Trump said something bad this weekend, can we focus on that?

I am constantly surprised at the speed at which they identify and catch these "domestic" terrorists. They identified him within 24 hours and randomly found him sleeping outside a bar 12 hours later. If this nation's detectives operated at the same efficiency with murders and kidnappings, the unsolved crime file would be pretty slim.

Also, some media is reporting Tannerrite residue was found on the bombs. Two questions immediately come to mind. 1st) How? That stuff is pretty stable from what I understand. And 2nd) the same reports say the undetonated bombs were taken and dismantled. That does not seem like common practice. Hell, just a few months ago they found a backpack at the fed center and blew the shit out of it but all it had in it were papers. But here they decided to take it offsite and take it apart when they knew for a fact it's a bomb? Anyone here that's more educated than me have any ideas why they'd do that?

And one more thing. Thank God this guy sucked at building bombs.
