    New York Governor Cuomo Calls Response to Bombing "A Remarkable Situation"



    By Staff Reporter

    September 21, 2016



    New York - - - Speaking to the media (CNN) on September 20th, New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo provided additional details concerning the weekend terrorism act that occurred in New York and New Jersey.

    Concerning the swiftness of the capture of the bomber, the Governor said:


    It really was a remarkable situation when you think about it. It has been, really an educational 48 hours. It's been up and down. But I think if we had said when we first started out this would come to a conclusion this quickly, none of us would have believed it. But I think it's a statement of the time. We've gotten so sophisticated in law enforcement. Especially in New York. We had a great coordinated approach. The President was very helpful in dispatching the top FBI agents. We have the state police, the NYPD, and it is a very sophisticated operation. Now your reporting has done a very good job on it, but the unexploded bombs had evidence. Obviously when the bomb doesn't explode, that's one thing. But you had the finger prints, you had the DNA you, had the surveillance video, and as you said, you have modern media that puts the picture out so quickly. And law enforcement, Linden police, God bless them – did a great heads up job and they got him in.

    Asked whether or not there was any additional information on the bomber's Pakistani wife, the Governor said:

    On the wife specifically, no Alisyn. But as you've been reporting – there's something to learn in this case, what radicalized Rahami. Should we have learned something when we came back? He went through screenings, but should those screenings be improved? And the investigation is pursing that course. We also want to find out, what to me is even more urgent, did he have any associates he was working with here? Was he working on his own [inaudible] you see other people accompanying him in that area. And that to me is a prime importance. Is there anyone else out there that could pose a danger. So, they're going down both tracks simultaneously about Rahami himself, and more pressing possibly, was there anyone working with him.

    Responding to a question as to whether or not the Governor thought the bomber had help, he replied:

    You know, it is possible that he did. And that is the predominant operating theory, but it's also being tested in a serious investigation. We just want to make sure there's no other associates of this man who could be a potential threat. And they're quite exhaustive in that review.

    Concerning reports that Governor Cuomo called the act terrorism early on and New York City Mayor de Blasio's apparently initial hesitancy to call it terrorism; was there any rift between the Governor and the Mayor - - - - the Governor responded:

    Look, I don't think you could have had better coordination between the city and the state than you had here. The President, the federal government was fantastic, the FBI, we all worked hand in glove, and the city and the state, and myself and the Mayor. I called it terrorism because I believed it was terrorism and it turned out to be terrorism. I think the question was whether it was international terrorism. Was there an international connection? And that wasn't clear early on and that is a line of questioning that is still being pursued. But I think it was a difference of semantics more than anything else between myself and the Mayor. I called it terrorism. He called it an intentional act, I think, but those are just words. We worked hand in glove. You couldn't have worked better than we worked together.
