afghans aren't originally from quetta. it would be strange for him to have family in quetta. secondly it's a conflict zone. it's like the arch american getting up and going to see belfast at the height of the tribbles. it's a war zone. there's currently a civil war going on in quetta. that in itself should have raised alarm bells for american authorities. >> we've been talking in the last couple of days whether we're turning into israel and we can expect more attacks and this is the new reality. what do you think? >> i'm clearly from europe, from london. we've had a summer of madness and terrorism there. i think that the extremists have been planning to delay their attacks in america until it's closer to the u.s. elections. isis on their chat forums, i'm not saying this chat was with isis, wu on their chat forums they've been suggesting that they would seek the influence the u.s. elections. i think they would favor a donald trump win because it makes it easy are for them to radicalize others against america. >> why, because he talks tough on terror? >> i'm weary of saying tha

especially to quetta. should that raise any flags?t's very likely that the influence is coming from al qaeda, much more so than isis, having done field research in pakistan in this region, isis barely has a footprint. one of the things we're seeing with isis online and chat rooms, they are post iing al qaeda ideology, sermons by bin laden. they don't care how you get to isis, they are casting a really wide net. whatever your flavor is, we don't care how you get here, but we want you on the path. they're trying to capture as many people as possible so even people al qaeda are brought in. >> let me ask you more specifically, having gone to quetta, visited afghanistan, and specifically quetta, and pakistan, the robes, the beard, what have you, as has been said. is there anything that stood out to you for this particular person that you think people should have known? >> it's hard to know, when he talked about the fact that every time he came through immigration, he was given secondary, orange or green, you start to feel like you're being

it was to quetta that i had gone. i changed my clothes, grew a beard, started to wear robes, a black turbine. does it mean i was morning towards violent action? no necessarily. you usually have to add an aggravating factor like a malevolent ideology usually. but, again, seeing somebody start to grow his beard and pray, it is not going to lead you to the next terrorist. >> it sounds like what they're talking about where is the line when it comes to profiling, right? but listening to what you said, he went on vacation several times to afghanistan in 2013, to pakistan in 2013, especially to quetta, sudden that raise flags? >> i think if it is quetta it is likely the influence is coming from al qaeda rather than isis. having done field research in this region, isis barely has a footprint. one of the things we are seeing with isis online and in chat rooms, they are posting al qaeda ideology, sermons by ben laude en, even omar hamami. the impression you get, they don't care how you get to isis, they are casting a really wid

he spent time in quetta, pakistan, which is a taliban stronghold. every time he came back to the united states, he was screened secondly by officials, but was never flagged. he is in the hospital after the injuries he sustained in the shootout. a bar owner stumbled upon rahami in the vestibule of the bar. the bar owner told us his account. >> the first cop looked at him and he was sleeping. the hoodie still over his head. the second cop woke him up. right away, he went police left side to pull, i'm sure, a gun. i could not hear the conversation because i was across street in the doorway. right away, he pulled a gun and he shot twice. i was like shaking a little bit. the cop pulled out his gun and at that point in time, i realized this is the guy. >> reporter: federal officials raided the rahami home and the chicken restaurant they own yesterday. the chicken restaurant is a point of contention in the elizabeth community. the neighbors here is a the restaurant was open 24 hours a day. that is when police came in to enforce an ordinance shutting it dow

in this facebook post, the brother talks about experiencing bombings in quetta, an area with a strong taliban presence. "another bomb just went out. wtf" he writes. "we can't even get out of the house." another photo shows the suspected bomber relaxing in traditional clothing. he had a wife in pakistan according to law enforcement sources. it is this trip and others to afghanistan that investigators are now looking into. >> as we go forward in this investigation, that's part of what we do. we're going to talk to family, talk to friends and see what the connections are. this is part of an investigation. >> reporter: an acquaintance remembers rahami's family telling him about the trip. >> i haven't seen him in a long time, so he was like, he's on vacation to afghanistan. i was like, oh, all right. >> reporter: you got the expression it was extended vacation, like, he was there. >> yeah, yeah. because of this, it kind of makes sense. >> reporter: a bar owner spotted ahmed rahami this morning around 9:00 a.m. sleeping in the doorway of his tavern. he recognized him from watching kr cnn an

in this facebook post the brother talks about experiencing bombings in quetta, an area with a strong taliban presence. another bomb just went off. that's seven bomb blasts in less than 24 hours. w.t.f., he writes. we can't even get out of the house. another photo shows the suspected bomber relaxing in traditional clothing. he had a wife in pakistan, according to law enforcement sources. it is this trip and others to afghanistan that investigators are now looking into. >> as we go forward in this investigation, that's part of what we do. we're going to talk to family, talk to friends, and see what the connections are. this is part of an investigation. >> an acquaintance remembers rahami's family telling him about the trip. >> i ain't see them in a long time. he was on vacation in afghanistan. i was like, oh, all right. >> you got the impression it was an extended vacation. >> yeah. yeah. because of this, it kind of makes sense. >> a bar owner spotted ahmad rahami this morning around 9:00 a.m. sleeping in the doorway of his tavern. he recognized him from watching cnn and called police.

the reason you wouldn't visit quetta, it would be strange for him to have family based in quetta. if he went to another place, i could understand it more. it's a conflict zone. it's like the average american going to see belfast in the height of the conflict. there's a civil war going on in quetta. that, in itself, should have raised alarm bells. >> reflect back and say what if. many people aren't convinced he acted alone. in fact, his neighbors are saying this guy was not alone. he might have been the headmaster, he might have been the mastermind. >> but he has bad connections by neighbors. >> he did have bad connections. on top of that, we need an opportunity to talk to him. evidently, he's not speaking right now. but we're going to find out this later. can we delay the miranda rights. >> turned him in. at one point he hit his wife, stabbed his son. then i was reading reports this morning that one of the brothers in that family on facebook has a photo supporting jihad. we showed that photo actually yelled. the sister has a quote from the american terror cleric anwar al awlaki. >

the areas where rahami traveled, yes, he went to quetta, a pakistani border town that is known to be a de facto headquarters for the leadership of the afghan taliban across the border in pakistan, but it's also home to many, many afghans going back to 1980s and the soviet occupation of afghanistan. it's important to note, also, wolf, that while the taliban may be denying links to rahami, there are many other militant jihadi groups that are active both on the afghan and pakistani sides of the border including al qaeda, including more recently isis. we have not heard from those organizations yet. we've reached out to the afghan and pakistani governments for some comment on this. no comment yet. you can be assured that u.s. investigators are reaching out to their counterparts in afghanistan and pakistan to try to learn more about rahami's movements during the time where he was visiting these countries. >> i'm sure they are. ivan watson in kabul, afghanistan for us. jessica snyder joining us as well. more on the developments in this case. i want to bring in two new jersey congressmen. fi

in fact, going to quetta is a red frlag for me, you know, and kandahar as well. at the border, we don't really recognize these local conflicts. we're looking for other indicators like net activity, what site he's looking at. apparently, i know of nothing coming out saying he was on net looking at how to make bombs. paul is absolutely right, he probably went to that area, whether he was sponsored or not, learned how to make bombs. think of tamir lynn tsarnaev. that bomb was fairly complicated as well. the wiring in the bomb was inspired by a magazine. he had knowledge of explosives and didn't get it in the united states. we're seeing this pattern of going back to pakistan, going to the kak cause sass where people become determined in their war against the united states and it doesn't -- the self-recruitment doesn't entirely happen here and they get some aid overseas, whether it's directed or not. >> you can see the president and the first lady now arriving at the united nations, president obama set to address the united nations general assembly for the very last t

disspite the fact this happened after he returned from a year long time in pakistan where he was in quetta, pakistan, as well as afghanis n afghanistan. we learned when he came back from afghanistan and pakistan in 2014 that he went through secondary screening but he said he was over there visiting family he didn't raise any concerns among customs and border officials. >> pamela brown, thank you very much. another big piece of this information is why did the bomber's wife leave the u.s.? officials are telling cnn that the pakistani woman he married in 2011 is back on her way to the united states but she took off a couple days before the attacks so let's go to ivan watson who is there live in kabul, afghanistan. he's our senior international correspondent what more do we know about the wife's travels and as we're learning more about the suspected not only going home to afghanistan but pakistan, specifically karachi and quetta, tell me about those places. >> well, we know that they met in pakistan during one of his visits, rahami traveled to pakistan in 2011 and 2013 all the way to 2014. he

and quetta, pakistan, which is a stronghold of the taliban. in july of 2011, he married a pakistani woman. unclear on whether or not -- it looks like he was not ever able to bring her back to the u.s., though he was trying. april of 2013 he went to pakistan for nearly a year. and then we do know he came back and went through the so-called secondary screening at airports in the u.s. where they pull you aside and say, okay, what with r you doing in quetta, because that raises a flag. it sounds like he was able to kind of dismiss it by saying, i was with family and went to an uncle's wedding, and i got married. >> had secondary screening is very standard for this type of travel. just to update, we do know now she did come. she is back overseas, we now know. the fbi is going to look to try to see if they can try to interview her overseas now that she's not here. she traveled apparently in recent days before this event. so we're going to see what that means, whether or not she knew anything. that is still to be determined. going back to the questio

quetta's not miami beach, it's the headquarters of the taliban. you don't go there for christmas vacation. yet this guy went and he came back. and nobody's watching him. and that's what i think america's fed up with. >> jimmy: we have this debate on monday. do you think that donald trump is going to do well in this debate? >> i have no idea. >> jimmy: no idea? >> no, because -- here's the deal on the debate. going to be huge ratings. both candidates have vulnerabilities. would you agree? >> jimmy: yes, sure. how would you characterize those vulnerabilities? >> in trump, trump could say anything at any time. trump won the republican debates by saying stuff like, you're boring. you're fat. you're sweating. that's how trump won. >> jimmy: he was the funniest one at the debates, yeah. >> you had no idea what insult -- i thought i was watching don rickles, all right? [ laughter ] what is he going to say next? politicians, they bought it. all right? if he starts that with hillary clinton, you're crooked! crooked hillary! he'll lose. that will be the end

we know quetta has a strong taliban stronghold. every time he came back to the united states, he went through secondary screening in immigration. he was never flagged. now investigators want to know if he was ever radicalized. rahami was taken down in the neighboring down of linden. i'm in elizabeth. he was taken down in the gun battle. interestingly, he was spotted in the vestibule of a bar by a bar owner who saw his picture on cnn and called police. he describes how it went down. >> the first cop just looked at him. he's still sleeping and the hoodie is still over his head. the second cop waked him up. right away he went to his left side to pull, i'm sure the gun. i could not hear the conversation. i was across the street in the doorway. right away he pulled the gun and he shot twice. i was shaking a little bit. the cop pulled out his gun and at that point in time, i realized, okay this is the guy. >> reporter: quite a tense scene there. also a tense scene in elizabeth where the rahami home was raided. the family owns the chicken

i think going to quetta in this situation where the father was earned and said, whoa, my son may be a terrorist at one time. it is a hot bed of jihadis. also causes some concern. the other thing i think is what was that about the explosives. who makes this bomb. my understanding is they were more sophisticated than other bombs. but here is someone who clearly was a problem but are the problem was never defined sufficiently to prevent him from coming back into the united states. so i think we've got to be more aware of this self-made radical lone wolf than we have been. and i would suspect that others may have conspired in making the bombs. >> let me interrupt you for a second. that's an intriguing point. others help him make those bombs? so he was not necessarily a lone wolf. he was part of some broader cell? is that what you're suggesting? >> what i'm suggesting is that we don't know that. we need to look at i. there were a number of bombs. they were strangely placed. if showed thatted, they would have done a lot of damage. however there were places that were quiet at that time so th

in 2013, rahami stayed in quetta pakistan for almost a year. known hotbed for islamic militants including al qaeda and the taliban. he also made multiple trips to afghanistan where he and his family is from. during one of his trips, rahami got married. according to police, rahami is in critical but stable condition. the two officers injured in yesterday's shootout, are out of the hospital. and apparently cooperating with investigators. she is one of many people investigators want to talk to. ugh, this pimple's gonna last forever. oh come on. clearasil ultra works fast to begin visibly clearing up skin in as little as 12 hours. and acne won't last forever. just like your mom won't walk in on you forever. stephen! stephen! stephen! stephen! stephen! see what i'm sayin acne won't last. but for now, let's be clear. clearasil works fast. this back to school, limited time offer >>> one major question in this presidential campaign, who would you trust to command america's nuclear arsenal? despite the end of the cold war, both the u.s. and russia have

the fact that he went to quetta in pakistan, quetta really is the hotbed of terrorism, so it's like going to -- >> where's the crime begin? >> no, you're right. if there's not -- it's very hard, and this is something that congress is going to have to look at, the fbi is going to look at to say, if they're monitoring all of his communications, they saw no reason to arrest him. they saw no reason to detain him. how do you stop somebody? >> here's the problem. boris, here's the problem. suppose some kids after a couple beers one night or for fun in the dormitory say, let's look up this bomb-making thing they have online. see how it works. you going to take those kids and put them in jail? >> no, you're going to investigate their behavior -- >> you would? >> and make sure they don't mean to go and hurt americans, then nothing happens. but if it's part of a larger plot or conspiracy, of course you have to run down -- that's a lead. >> you would send the fbi around to interview kids who check out something online? you would do it, at that stage? >> if those kids are looking at bomb-making mater

what about -- what can you tell us about quetta, pakistan. you said that was a strong hold for the taliban, correct? >> it's the headquarters of the taliban. it's an open secret that the taliban are centered there, their leadership are there, they're directing some of the afghan insurgency from this town, which is pretty near the border between afghanistan and pakistan. another data point is just a few months ago in may, the leader of the taliban was killed in a u.s. drone strike. and the tail bang suggesting that this was not going to go unanswered. here's a guy who travelled not only into quetta, but parts of afghanistan where the taliban had a big presence. a lot of opportunities to connect with terrorist groups over there. we don't know whether he did. the boston bombers went back to the caucuses, no evidence they connected with terrorist groups. we just -- they're going to have to find out. >> one thing to say here too, there were other factors here, his family had this lawsuit against their towns related to -- in 2011, related to their

we know he went to kandahar, afghanistan and quetta, pakistan. the headquarters for the afghan taliban in 2011. and then travelled there again in 2013. he stayed for almost a year. do you see this, as of right now, as a possible intelligence failure? >> possible? yeah. i have a couple of questions, all right. you stab somebody and you're not in jail? he stabbed somebody and it sounds like beat up his mother as well, and he's not in jail? how long did he spend in jail? the other question i have -- and this is a more troubling question -- almost every major attack we have had in our country has been previously investigated by the fbi, and the fbi closes the investigation. so i have been going around and around with the fbi on this because, when the orlando killer was investigated, they closed the investigation prematurely saying we did not deem him to be a credible threat. i even asked them, in retrospect did you make a mistake? and they were like, oh, no, given the facts we made the connect decision. no they didn't. they made a bad decision. and t

he's going off to quetta, the rest of it.could have added this up and said it was going very badly. i'm not paying attention to the father talking to the fbi and saying he's a terrorist. because he didn't provide any proof of that. but two years later when he's testing these explosives? oh absolutely. and the wife not knowing anything, it would surprise me. the family always knows something is going on at some point. >> and again, the question here we still don't know whether others were involved and the complexity, three different types of bombs at least that we're aware of and some of them requiring some real expertise or knowledge to build. >> we were talking earlier, jeff and i. and we were specifically talking about that. that on the one hand he seems to be somewhat knowledgeable about what he's doing putting these -- the complexities of the explosive that went into the pressure cooker was -- you know, takes some knowledge to put that together. but then where his placement of the bombs and, you know, was he dumping the b

i didn't hang out in quetta for my holidays, if you know what i mean.: in other words look where people have been. >> -- life. look at khan, who made anti-american statements, then homophobic statements. hangs out in the hotbed of taliban terrorism and his father's says he is terrorist? excuse me. trish: where is law enforcement. >> right. trish: dr. gorka, good to have you in house. >> thank you, trish. trish: after a third night of protest in charlotte the city's police chief announces he is in favor of releasing the police body cam video of the shooting of the black man there. the governor of north carolina is expected to speak on issue a few minutes from now. will the police release the video? why don't they? we'll have that next. whether it's bringing cutting-edge wifi to 35,000 fans... : and communication counts on centurylink. now that fedex has helped us we could focus on bigger issues, like our passive aggressive environment. we're not passive aggressive. hey, hey, hey, there are no bad suggestions here... no matter how lame they are. well said

looking closely at his trips overseas to afghanistan andov pakistan.st in 2013, rahami stayed in quetta, pakistan, for almost a year, a known hot-bed for islamic militants including al qaeda and the taliban. he also made multiple trips to afghanistan, where he and his h during know one of his trips, rahami got married. according to police, rahami is in critical but stable condition. the two officers injured in yesterday's shoot-out are out of the hospital. a government official confirms that rahami's wife is in dubai and is, apparently, cooperating with investigators are. scott, late today, ahmad rahami was hit with several federal charges, including use of a weapon of mass destruction. >> pelley: jeff pegues investigating for us. anna werner has learned more about rahami's past. >> reporter: rahami lived here with his family above their chicken restaurant in elizabeth, new jersey. he first came to the u.s. from afghanistan, sources say, as a baby, just a couple of months old. he attended edison high school in new jersey, where one classmate contacted by cbs news described him as nice a

last few years, rahami traveled to afghanistan and pakistan, including almost a year, beginning in quetta, pakistan, between april of 2013 and march 2014, later telling authorities he had a wife in pakistan. >> if they spent more than a few days, it raises suspicions that while they were there, they will have been recruited by terrorist groups. >> reporter: friends say he was a changed man when he came home terrorist, rahami was a failure. surveillance cameras spotted him saturday night, and then also saw him at the second location a short time later. even more revealing, the bomb that did not explode was connected to a cell phone, which the fbi was able in only a few hours, to track right back to rahami. >> all right, so, let's get right to brian ross tonight, because word of those devices discovered in his home, a lot of them, as you were t have. was he acting alone? >> reporter: so far, there's been no indication of a large-scale, full-blown terror cell. but officials say they do have the other devices in the search of the home and there remains open question if he had acome polices wh
