He talks about god willing the sound of bombs will be heard in the streets, gunshots to your police, death to your precious. Reporter blood stained with a bullet hole through it, rahami wrote about martyrdom, and his praise of militants suggests he took inspiration from al qaeda as well as isis.

I. s terrorist watch list for ten months and was investigated by later removed from the list. In june he killed 49 people. Cbs news consultant Fran Townsend says the system needs improvement.
