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 mi 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 rahami began ordering materials to bui 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 rahami, filled with 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 to the fbi in 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. Investigators are now looking 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, one investigators paint as an 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 w. Bush, juan, good morning. Good morning. 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 been suggested. An 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 family relationships. 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, checking databases, the fbi said it did an assessment, which is less than an investigation. The fbi never spoke to rahami itself. Does that seem like an oversight now . 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 constitutional rights. Their guidelines require them to close investigations and these preliminary investigations if there is 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 serrati, thank you very much. Now to the state of the president ial race, just 48 days left before the election. Out a campaign for what her campaign is calling an inclusive economy that benefits all ame americans. Donald trump is holding a rally in toll told, ohio. And clinton is outspending her rival in advertising dollars by a five to one margin. Today, the Clinton Campaign has poured more than 96 million into ads, Trumps Campaign just nbc National Correspondent Peter Alexander is here in new york covering it all. Good morning to you. Hey, matt and savannah. Good morning to you. Were just five days away from that crucial first president ial debate. This morning, donald trump is fighting back against tough new questions about his Charitable Foundation and whether it violated laws that prohibit nonprofit leaders from using Charity Money to benefit themselves or their businesses. Under scrutiny again this morning, Donald Trumps Charitable Foundation, new rk democrat telling nbc news hes looking into whether or not 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 1 million 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 account, but from the trump paying money, trump had his charity pay money. Thats against the rules if you koo use your charity to pay off debts your business has incurred. Also showing a purchase of this portrait at trumps doral resort in florida using the foundation money. Adding there was not or could not be the Trump Foundation to make improper payments. Still, the republican nominee is honestly, laces like afghanistan are safer than some of our innercities. Mocking Hillary Clinton for taking a day off the trail. Tweeting, sleep well, hillary. See you at the debate. In fact, clinton spent the day working, hosting a National Security call. Meanwhile, donald trump jr. Is refugees to skittles. If you had a bowl of skittles, and i told you three of them trumps running mate, mike pence, respond, nbcs kelly odonnell. I think whats insensitive is to turn a blind eye to policies that are likely compromising the safety and the security of the american people. The campaign blaming a firestorm on people who would rather be tremendous asset. Ironically, according to the bbc there morning, the british man who took that original photo, that image of the bowl of skittles used in donald trump jr. s tweet was, himself, a refugee. Matt and savannah. Peter, thank you. We told you about those violence demonstrations in charlotte overnight. Protests are also growing over yet another fatal Police Shooting. This one of an unarmed man in janet shamblian is there. Good morning to you. Good morning. These videos have touched a nerve well beyond tulsa. They are sparking, rather, frustration and anger all across the country. And now, this morning, for the first time we are hearing the officers side of the story. Who tests in tulsa as a wave of outrage grows this morning over the death of terence crutcher. Why is he being treated like a criminal when hes done nothing wrong . Of four being shot by officer betty shelby stirring anger. From the campaign trail, Hillary Clinton tweeted, this should be intolerable. And basketball player dwyane wade tweeting we must show our strength as a black community more. For more than two minutes, no one goes to check on him. He died later at the hospital. Pure devastation . The Excessive Force and all of that, its just uncalled for when someones hands are up. And thats what happened. This morning, officer betty shelbys side of the story from her attorney. She became concerned about him reaching for his left pocket, despite being commanded not to. According to a report in the tulsa world, citing the lead investigator on the place, a vial of pcp was found in crutchers crutchers family says even if that is true, its no justification of deadly force. This was an unjustified killing. The position of the family is rather on this matter. In charlotte last night, protests here have been peaceful. They have call for charges to be now to an attack on an aid convoy in syria. The Obama Administration is blaming russia for the bombing. 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 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 with goods. U. S. Officials have told reuters that two russian war planes were above the convoy at the white house blames russia. There only could have been two entities responsible. Either the Syrian Regime or the russian government. Russia says it didnt do it and claims syrian war planes 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 convoy. If this attack was deliberate, it could well amount to a war crime. Air strikes are killing and injuring and the merciless war is dragging on. Well, 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. Rebels blaming an air strike. The ceasefire here is history. Matt, savannah.
