Ahmad Khan Rahami made his first in-person court appearance Tuesday to face charges he tried to kill police officers before they captured him 19 September outside a bar in Linden, New Jersey.
An attorney previously entered not-guilty pleas when the Afghan-born US citizen was hospitalized with gunshot wounds from the shootout.
He’s also accused of detonating a pipe bomb along the route of a US Marine Corps charity race in New Jersey’s Seaside park and a pressure cooker bomb in New York City on 17 September. No one was injured in the New Jersey blast; 31 people were hurt in the New York bombing.
