MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On Monday, police arrested Ahmad Khan Rahami in Linden, New Jersey, in connection with three explosions in the New York City area in recent days.

"Terrorism charges filed in Manhattan federal court against alleged Chelsea bomber, Ahmad Khan Rahami," Bharara wrote on his twitter page.

One bomb exploded in Seaside Park, New Jersey and another one in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood on Saturday. No one was hurt in Seaside Park, but the Chelsea blast injured 29 people.

On Monday morning, a third device that had been found near a train station in Elizabeth, New Jersey exploded when a bomb squad was trying to defuse it.
