Should we be worried when the FBI is left scratching their heads?
The federal agency seemed to be struggling with simply connecting the dots on New York bombing suspect Ahmad Khan Rahami’s trips to Afghanistan.
JUST IN: @CBSNews confirms Rahami traveled to Afghanistan at least 3x, last time in 2014. FBI still trying to determine purpose for travel.

@PaulaReidCBS @CBSNews What ever could the purpose be? Total headscratcher.

Rahami, 28, was captured on Monday in a gunfight with police in Linden, New Jersey, following an intense manhunt.
According to CBS News:
A senior law enforcement official told CBS News senior investigative producer Pat Milton that Rahami traveled to Afghanistan at least three times, the last time believed to be in 2014. The official said It is unclear at this time the purpose for the trips, investigators are seeking to see if the travel was to visit family or for other reasons.
What a mystery.
Yeah, it’s a real puzzle. https://t.co/w6lUFvtaXQ

@seanmdav @GolightlyGrl427 Hate to say this but I’m starting to wonder about the IQ of the FBI people.

@seanmdav Funny! Maybe we should start watching folks that keep going there with no employment or family there? Just a thought!

@CBSNews But we shouldn’t profile young Muslim men traveling to Arab countries. Let’s be naive fools and allow ourselves to be slaughtered.

@CBSNews is it just me or are they making us look stupid for allowing them to travel to these places to train and come back and bomb us.
