A whopping 44 out of 50 fingerprints found on explosive devices and other evidence from last year’s bombings in NY and NJ are linked to Ahmad Rahimi, an FBI fingerprint expert told a Manhattan federal jury Tuesday.
FBI forensic analyst D.J. Fife said he found Rahimi’s finger prints on cell phones, parts of pressure-cooker bombs and other evidence collected after 31 people were injured in Manhattan’s posh Chelsea neighborhood last year.
Rahimi, 29, stands accused of planting the bombs in Chelsea and Seaside Park, NJ, on Sept. 17th 2016 — injuring dozens and causing millions in property damage. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.
Separately, the feds showed the jury a second videoof Rahimi igniting an incendiary device in his backyard — just two days before the devastating Chelsea explosion sent a dumpster flying 120 feet across W. 23rd St.
