Keep an Eye on Him,’ Ahmad Khan Rahami’s Father Says He Told F.B.I.

A very tough job for FBI etc.


*'Ahmad asked for his forgiveness, but the father said he would not forgive him until he was sure he was not a terrorist and the F.B.I. had cleared him.

“In two months, the F.B.I. came back to me and said he’s clean,” Mohammad Rahami said. “They didn’t find anything on him. But they didn’t interview him.”

“I still had my doubts,” he said. “I was never 100 percent clear.”

At that point, he said he decided not to pursue the charges stemming from the domestic dispute. Court records show that a grand jury declined to indict Ahmad Rahami on the charges.

The father said he believed he did his duty by sharing his concerns with law enforcement. “What was required of me, I did,” he said. “And he’s not a kid, he’s 28 years old.”'

that a father had to be afraid his son had become something terrible. Every bit of information helped after the bombings and limited the number of people Ahmed could have hurt.
