Quick, America! The FBI needs your help:
JUST IN: @CBSNews confirms Rahami traveled to Afghanistan at least 3x, last time in 2014. FBI still trying to determine purpose for travel.

It's a mystery!!! @PaulaReidCBS @CBSNews

What could his purpose have been? These helpful folks have some theories:
Business, obviously

Possible explanations so far include "sightseeing", "getting away from it all", and "goat connoisseuring" https://t.co/9ZnHIC6Qv4

Pakistan, too, eh?

Well, he’s certainly gotten the Feds’ attention now!
He was just getting curly fries https://t.co/kAQZ1pE6iX

That’s probably all it was. Still, the FBI should probably investigate. You know, just as a formality.
I bet 99% of my followers could figure out the purpose faster than the FBI. https://t.co/9vxgB5yhrB

So he traveled to Afghanistan & Pakistan as a military-aged man, but wasn't on any federal watch list? https://t.co/zoMeliA0H2

So he wasn't on a watch list? So what FUCKING GOOD ARE WATCH LISTS
