THE SUSPECT'S WIFE; WHAT DID SHE KNOW?
While he was in Pakistan in 2011, Rahami married a Pakistani woman. That same year, he filed paperwork to bring her back to the US, and it was approved in 2012. However it's unclear if she came to the US at that time.
In 2014, Rahami contacted Congressman Albio Sires' office from Islamabad, saying he was concerned about his wife's passport and visa. It turned out her Pakistani passport had expired. Once it was renewed, she discovered she was pregnant. She was told she would need a visa for the baby as well. It is unclear what happened to the child.
However, Rahami's wife eventually made it to the US -- and she left before Saturday's attacks, according to a law enforcement official.
She is cooperating with investigators, according to the source. She has spoken with US officials in the UAE.

^ Two men were captured on video removing the explosives from the duffel bag on the street and taking the luggage itself. Luckily, they were not injured and are said not to be suspects. But, police want to identify and question them.
