In breaking news, authorities say police have arrested 28-year-old Ahmad Khan Rahami, who is a suspect in the bombing in Chelsea on Saturday and another bombing this weekend in New Jersey. According to police, Rahami was arrested after a shootout in Linden, New Jersey, on Monday morning. Rahami was reportedly injured during the shootout. Police say they identified Rahami in surveillance video seen Saturday planting two bombs in Manhattan—one 23rd Street, which did explode, and four blocks away on 27th Street, which did not explode. Police described this device as a pressure cooker bomb connected to a flip phone, packed with shrapnel and wired to detonate with Christmas lights. Authorities say Rahami may also be linked to a pipe bomb that exploded in a garbage can early Saturday morning in Seaside Park, New Jersey. Authorities say Rahami is originally from Afghanistan and a naturalized American living in Elizabeth, New Jersey.
