Chelsea Bombing Defendant Rahimi Back In Court

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- Accused Chelsea bomber Ahmad Khan Rahimi was back in court Monday for a pre-trial conference.

Rahimi is accused of detonating a pipe bomb along the route of a Marine Corps charity race in Seaside Park, New Jersey, and planting two pressure cooker bombs in New York City. One of those devices did not explode. The other one detonated in Chelsea, injuring 30 people.

Rahimi is also charged in connection with the shootout with police officers in Linden, New Jersey that led to his capture on Sept. 19.

In court Monday, a prosecutor said other domestic suspects are being investigated in connection with evidence to be used against Rahimi, according to a Reuters report.

If convicted of all charges, Rahimi could face a mandatory life prison sentence.
