Mosque members said Rahami's father frequently prays there, including this week after Rahami was injured by police in a shootout in Linden hours after he was named the suspect. Mohammad Rahami, the suspect's father, said his son was a changed person after visiting Afghanistan and Pakistan in 2013. A senior FBI official pushed back against Mohammad Rahami's claim to have warned agents about his son. FBI agents interviewed the father in 2014 after Ahmad Rahami's arrest on charges — later dropped — that he stabbed one of his brothers in the leg. Mohammad Rahami said he and his family were in a state of shock following last weekend's blasts, which injured 31 people.
