Matt, savannah, back to you. Chris klackum down in charlotte. Thank you very much. Federal terror charges have now been filed against the suspect in those bombing and bombing attempts here in new york and new jersey. This is his personal journal revealed much more about a possible motive in the case. Lets begin our coverage with good morning to you. Savannah, good morning. That new criminal complaint says the fbi began watching ahmad rahami outside of his home the day after the bombing. It says he was worried he would be captured before he, quote, carries off his jihad. Today, the bombing of public places, new details emerging from his criminal complaint. The fbi says bombs in june, buying some stems items on ebay under his own name. The day of the bombings, rahami drove himself into manhattan through the lincoln tunnel. The ieds injured approximately 31 people in new york. One victim had to have multiple ball bearings removed from her body. After a shootout with police, investigators say they found a bullet pierced journal on inside you usa government continue your lawsuiters against the mujahidean, be it iraq he also praised Osama Bin Laden and the journal says with god willing, the sounds of the bombs will be heard in the streets, gunshots to on your police. Death to your oppression. Tuesday, rahamis father, mohammed, confirmed he spoke the fbi in 2014. A neighbor told Police Mohammed called his son a terrorist after ahmad stabbed his brother in the leg during a fight. Mohamed rahami later told the fbi he was just angry and had no reason to think his son was a terrorist. With the officers rahami is accused of woupgd now released from the hospital how are you feeling . Im feeling like i got shot. Im glad to be alive. Im glad to be home. Into the suspects frequent visits to pakistan and afghanistan. In 2011, rahami married asia bi by raham had i. She was living in pakistan and granted a visa to enter the u. S. Overseas when the bombing occurred, shes been questioned by investigators in the united arab emirates, denying any prior knowledge of the attacks, according to a senior Law Enforcement official. We have nothing to indicate at this point that shes involved. This morning, a clearer picture of the suspect, investigators paint as antiamerican and ready to kill. The criminal complaint also says raham had i watched jihad videos from his social media account and added a Family Member took cell phone video of him inside his backyard using incendiary devices. Back to you. Thank you. Nbc news analyst once served as the Deputy National security adviser under president george you were asked about whether raham had i acted alone or whether he had help. Were 24 hours further into this right now. Based on what youve heard or read, are you moving in either direction on that . Its clear theres more suspicion around the family, especially given the information about this individual crow taken at the home two days prior to the attack. Which seems to be some sort of test of the incendiary device. So that begins to raise questions as to whether or not the family knew more than has be and certainly suggests, as we talked about yesterday, matt, that this was not a hermit terrorist. This was an individual who was still living with his family and not hiding his views. Even as you say that, juan, we know there was tension between the son and the father. And knowing about unusual activity is different than helping someone. Absolutely right. And weve got to be very careful about that. But no doubt, authorities are looking very closely at the time, these terrorists, even if Family Members arent aware, sometimes have social networks of some sort that are supporting the cause. So i think we have to be careful about the lone wolf narrative and mythology because often these are individuals that have some degree of support. And we now know, juan, that there was contact with this individual in the sense of talking to the Family Members after a report about a Domestic Violence incident, databases, the fbi said it did an assessment, which is less than an investigation. The fbi never spoke to rahami itself. Well, given whats happened, it does. It seems like talking to him would have been helpful, perhaps checking into his travel records more deeply would have helped as well. The fbi in some ways is whipsawed, though, because they are charged with not only trying rights. Their guidelines require them to close investigations and these preliminary investigations if there is not evidence that raises suspicions. So they cant just keep lists of people that are potentially problematic. They have to have a reason for that and that really binds what the fbi can do. Juan, thank you very much. And now to the state of the president ial race, 48 days left until the election. Hillary clinton delivering an address in orlando today laying out her plan for what the campaign is calling an inclusive economy. Donald trump is holding a rally in toledo, ohio, one of the battleground states hes visited most since securing the republican information.

New yorks attorney general, a democrat, telling nbc news hes looking into whether trump used money from the charity to pay for his own legal settlements. The Washington Post reporting trump spent 258,000 to settle various lawsuits. That includes a deal with a golfer who made a Million Dollar hole in one during a Charity Tournament at one of trumps courses but later settled for 158,000 because of a rules dispute. That payment reportedly coming not from a business or personal charity pay money. Thats against the rules if you use your charitys money to pay off debts your businesses have incurred. Reporter the post also reporting this 4foot tall portrait of trump was purchased with 10,000 of Charity Money. Overnight the Trump Campaign responding, accusing the post of getting their facts wrong but not identifying a single example, adding there was not and could not be any intent or motive for the Trump Foundation to make improper payments. Still the republican nominee is teeing off. I mean honestly, places like afghanistan are safer than some of our inner cities. Reporter mocking Hillary Clinton for taking a day off the trail, tweeting sleep well, hillary, see you at the debates. In fact clinton spent the day working, according to aides, hosting a counterterrorism call with National Security advisers. Meanwhile donald trump jr. Is still under fire for a tweet comparing refugees to poisoned candy. If we had a bowl of skittles on this table and three of the thousand were poisonous, would you take from the bowl . You want to figure out which is bad. Reporter twitter igniting with outrage including this photo of a young syrian refugee. Mike pence responding with nbcs kelly odonnell. I think whats insensitive is to turn a blind eye to policies that are very likely compromising the safety and security of the american people. Reporter the campaign blame the firestorm on people who would ra b jr. As a tremendous asset.

Matt and savannah. Convoy in syria. It has led the u. N. To suspend all aid deliveries there. The Obama Administration is now blaming russia for the bombing. Here is nbcs bill neely. Reporter good morning, matt and savannah. There have been more bitter exchanges between the u. S. And russia over this, one of the worst incidents of this long war, the destruction of that aid convoy. Here in syria today, not a single piece of aid has got through to the hundreds of thousands of people who desperately need it. Aid convoys have been fired on before in syria, but never like this. Food, clothes and medical supplies for 78,000 people targeted. Aid workers killed. It was hit just 30 minutes after the latest ceasefire ended. More than 20 vehicles, 20 trucks reporter u. S. Officials have told reuters that two russian at the exact moment it was hit. The white house blames russia. There only could have been two entities responsible, either the Syrian Regime or the russian government. Reporter russia says it didnt do it and claims syrian warplanes cant fly at night. Moscow concedes it was tracking the convoy with a drone and blames this rebel vehicle carrying a heavy weapon. The u. N. Says it knew the area wasnt safe but alerted everyone to the clearly marked convoy. If this attack was deliberate, it could well amount to a war crime. Reporter more air strikes are now killing and injuring and a merciless war is dragging on. While it may be difficult to prove who did this and reports this morning of another attack on a Medical Clinic near aleppo killing four workers. Bill neely, thank you.
