Suspect of New York bombing, Ahmad Khan Rahami
New York officials have identified a suspect who is likely to be the brain behind Saturday's bombing in the Chelsea area of the city.
The man has been identified as Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28, a naturalized US citizen from Afghanistan.
The New York Police Department (NYPD) has released a photograph.
The explosion injured 29 people. Both the detonated bomb, and a device found nearby, were shrapnel-filled pressure cookers, US media confirmed.
Investigators have warned the suspect, whose last known address was in Elizabeth, New Jersey, should be considered "armed and dangerous".
The announcement comes after a backpack containing up to five suspicious devices was discovered near a train station in Elizabeth.
One of the devices exploded early on Monday when a bomb disposal robot tried to deactivate it.
