Chelsea bomber has tried to radicalize inmates, made light of attacks: prosecutors

Convicted Chelsea bomber Ahmad Khan Rahimi has been unrepentant while locked up, according to federal prosecutors who argue he should get life behind bars at his Feb. 13 sentencing.

Rahimi was convicted of detonating a series of bombs in New York and New Jersey in 2016.

While locked up, he has tried to “radicalize his fellow inmates and made light of his attacks,” prosecutors say in court papers filed in Manhattan federal court Tuesday.

Rahimi wrote in a letter to a friend on Dec. 12, just two months after a jury convicted him for the September 2016 attacks, “My Judge is a kaffir, my lawyer is a kaffir, my prose[c]utor is a kaffir, and my jury are all kaffirs,” court papers state.
