Another big story were following, federal terror charges have been filed against the suspect in those bombings and bombing attempts here in new york and new jersey. This as his personal journal reveals much more about a possible motive in the case. Lets begin our coverage with nbc National CorrespondentMiguel Almaguer. Good morning to you. Reporter savannah, good morning. That new criminal complaint says the fbi began watching ahmad rahami the day after the first bombing. It says that he was worried he would be captured before he could, quote, carry off his jihad. This as he faces new criminal charges. Today ahmad rahami is charged with using weapons of mass destruction in the bombing of public places. New details emerging from his criminal complaint. The fbi says rahami began ordering materials to build bombs in june, buying some items on ebay under his own names. The day of the bombings rahami drove himself into manhattan through the lincoln tunnel. The ied 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 killed with antiamerican sentiments. The government continue your slaughter against he also praised Osama Bin Laden and Anwar Al Awlaki. The journal ends with god willing, the sounds of the bombs will be heard in the streets. Gunshots to your police, death to your oppression. Tuesday rahamis father, mohammed, confirmed he spoke to the fbi in 2014. A neighbor told Police Mohammed called his son a terrorist after ahmad stabbed his brother in a fight. He said he was just angry and had no reason to think his son was a terrorist. With the officers rahami is accused of wounding now rye leased from the hospital how are you feeling . Im feeling like i got shot in the head. Im glad to be alive and glad to be home. Reporter investigators are looking into his frequent visits to pakistan and afghanistan. He got married and his wife was granted a visa to enter the u. S. Overseas shes been questioned by investigators in the united arab emirates, denying any prior knowledge of the attack. We have nothing to indicate at this point that shes involved. Reporter this morning a clearer picture of the suspect. One investigators paint as antiamerican and ready to kill. The criminal complaint also says rahami watched jihad videos from his social media account and added that a Family Member took cell phone video of him inside his backyard using incendiary devices. Back to you. All right, thank you. Nbc news analyst juan serrati served as a National Security advisor under president george w. Bush. Good morning. Good morning. We talked about this question whether he acted alone or had help. Were 24 hours further into this right now. Based on what you heard or read, are you moving in any direction on that . Its clear that theres more suspicion around the family, especially given the information about the video taken at the hom two days prior to the attack which seems to be some sort of test of the incendiary device. That raises questions whether the family knew more than was suggested and certainly suggests as we talked about yesterday that this was not a hermit terrorist. This is an individual still living with his family and not hiding his views in some ways so there are more questions no doubt for the family both abroad and here at home. As you say that, we know there was tension between the son and the father. Knowing about unusual activity is different than helping someone. Absolutely right. Weve got to be very careful about that. But no doubt authorities are looking very closely at the family relationships. Matt, as weve seen over time, these terrorists even if Family Members arent aware sometimes have social networks of some sort that are su pouring their cause. So we have to be careful about the lone wolf narrative and mythology because often these are individuals that do have some degree of support. 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 himself. Understanding that it is easy to have 20 20 hindsight, 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 to prevent attacks but they also have to protect constitutional 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. Thank you, matt. We move to politics now. 48 days till the election if youre counting and Hillary Clinton will deliver 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. Our latest data shows clinton outspending her rival by a 51 margin. To date the Clinton Campaign poured more than 96 million into ads during this general election. Trumps Campaign Just over 17 million. Peter alexander is here in new york covering it all. Peter, good morning to you. Reporter good morning to you. Were now 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 TrumpsCharitable Foundation. 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 account, but from the Trump Foundation. Instead of those businesses paying money, trump had his 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. 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, hosting a counterterrorism call with National Security advisers. Meanwhile donald trump jr. Is still under fire for a tweet comparing refugees to poisoned candy. An analogy hes made before. If we had a bowl of skittles on this table and three of the thousand were poisonous, would you take from the bowl . 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 rather be politically correct than safe, praising don jr. As a tremendous asset. Ironically according to the bbc this 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. Thank you. We told you about those violent demonstrations in charlotte overnight. Protests are also growing over yet another fatal Police Shooting, this one of an unarmed man in tulsa, oklahoma. Janet shamlian is there. Janet, good morning to you. Reporter matt, good morning. These videos have touched a nerve well beyond tulsa. They are sparking frustration and anger all across the country. And now this morning for the first time, we are hearing the officers side of the story. Protests 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. Reporter videos of the unarmed father of four with his hands in the air being shot by officer betty shelby stirring anger. From the campaign trail where Hillary Clinton tweeted this should be intolerable. And basketball player dwyane wade posting we must show our strength as a black community more. Shots fired reporter crutcher was tasered by one officer and shot by another. For more than two minutes, no one goes to check on him. He died later at the hospital. Its pure devastation.

Reporter 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. Reporter according to a report in the tulsa world citing the lead investigator on the case, a vial of pcp was found in crutchers vehicle. Crutchers family says even if that is true, its no justification for deadly force. This was an unjustified killing. The position of the family is resolution on this matter. Reporter unlike what we saw in charlotte last night, the protests here have been peaceful, but they come amid calls from Terence Crutchers family for charges to be filed against that officer. Matt and savannah. Janet, thank you. Now to an attack on an aid 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 warplanes were above the convoy at the exact moment it was hit. The white house blames russia. There only could have been two entities responsible, either the seyrian regime or the russin 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 here aleppo killing four workers. Rebels blaming an air strike. The ceasefire here is history. Matt, savannah. Bill neely, thank you. Mr. Roker here with a first check of the weather. Theres some Severe Weather in the upper midwest and flood watches involved.
