NEW YORK: The alleged New Jersey terrorist charged with trying to blow up a Chelsea area in New York City last weekend had spent weeks getting religious education at a Pakistani seminary, according to a news report here on Monday.
Ahmad Khan Rahami spent three weeks in Kuchlak, an area described as a long-time `hub` for the Taliban, in 2011, a security official in Pakistan told the Guardian.
Rahami, 28, attended lectures at the Kaan Kuwa Naqshbandi seminary.
