Source: NBC News
Accused Chelsea bomber Ahmad Khan Rahimi was hit Tuesday with an eight-count federal indictment.
The 28-year-old Afghan immigrant was charged with setting off and planting bombs two months ago in New York City.
"The bomb that exploded in Chelsea shattered windows hundreds of yards away and propelled a 100-pound dumpster over 120 feet, injuring over 30 people," said Preet Bharara, the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan. Now indicted by a grand jury, Rahimi will face justice in a federal court for his alleged violent acts of terrorism."
The federal charges came a month after Rahimi was formally charged with trying to murder police officers.
