After the stabbing in Minnesota and the bombings in New Jersey and New York officials have come up with a suspect in the New York / New Jersey stuff! (The Minnesota guy was shot by an off-duty cop!)Local, as well as Swedish police have issued an all points bulletin for a certain "Björn Ulvaeus." OH, WAIT .......! HOLD ON AND BACK THE TRUCK UP FOLKS ......., SORRY ......., THIS IS THE WRONG GUY!
(The guy in the picture is Björn Ulvaeus, one of the members of the Swedish rock group ABBA! He's a Swedish Lutheran, not an Afghani Muslim!)
The guy who officials are REALLY looking for is Ahmad Khan Rahami, a naturalized US citizen who was born in Afghanistan, for questioning over explosions in New York and New Jersey on Saturday.
(This is the guy who is on the run as of Monday morning!)
Earlier on Saturday a pipe bomb exploded in a New Jersey shore town ahead of a charity race.
The FBI has been searching an address in Elizabeth, New Jersey, connected to the 28-year-old suspect.
A backpack containing up to five devices exploded in Elizabeth in the early hours of Monday when a bomb disposal robot tried to deactivate it.
