The suspect pulled put his hand on the side and pulled out a handgun, fired one shot at the officer, striking him. Along with rahami. A naturalized u. S. Citizen who was born in afghanistan. Now that we have this suspect in custody, the investigation can focus on other aspects. Such as whether this individual acted alone and what his motivations may have been. Reporter police asked for the publics help in finding him. Sending this first of its kind emergency alert, warning people to be on the lookout after pulling over five members of his family, along the verrazano bridge last night and taking them spoke exclusively to nbc news tonight.

Reporter the restaurant was not popular with some neighbors who complained it was too loud, open too late. The police were often called in. The family filed a federal lawsuit five years ago, alleging they were being harassed. Muslims make too much trouble in this country, they claimed a neighbor said. They claimed in because they were muslims. This lawsuit had nothing to do with ethnicity or anything to do with religion or religious beliefs. Reporter but was it a dispute over the Family Business that enraged ahmad or Something Else . U. S. Intelligence officials tell nbc news, ahmad, his father and brother, traveled to pakistan and afghanistan multiple times over the last decade. A senior u. S. Intelligence official said ahmad and other members of his family had become, quote, radicalized, and that social media accounts under pseudonyms praised the americanborn extremist cleric anwar alawlaki, killed by a u. S. Drone strike in yemen in 2011. But before today, ahmad was mostly unknown. And not on a watch list.

Frontline enemies exchanging fire, in a city torn apart by a war thats not ending. This commander tells me the rebels broke the ceasefire. Rebels blame the regime. In the middle, families.
