Ahmad Kham Rahami, the 28-year-old arrested in connection with the weekend bombings in New York City and New Jersey, does not appear to belong to a terror cell, authorities said.
Law Enforcement officials said Rahami appeared to be working alone and was not part of a lager network, the Washington Post reports.
Rahami was arrested Monday after a shootout with police.
Rahami was born in Afghanistan but is a naturalized U.S. citizen.
The 28-year-old was charged with five counts of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and two counts of second-degree counts for possessing a handgun.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, who said the bombs were “an act of terror,” said no one else was being sought at this time.
William Sweeney Jr., assistant director in charge of the FBI’s New York division, said authorities have found “no indication that there is a [terror] cell operating in the area.”
