Boston: A Massachusetts man arrested yesterday as part of a terrorism investigation will face charges in federal court today, hours after another suspect in the probe was shot dead, according to prosecutors.
The man, named as David Wright by a spokeswoman for US Attorney for Massachusetts Carmen Ortiz, was arrested by police in Everett, outside Boston.
Officers working with the Joint Terrorism Task Force had earlier shot Usaamah Abdullah Rahim, who had been under 24-hour surveillance, after police contend he confronted them with a knife.
Boston Police Commissioner William Evans yesterday told reporters only that they considered Rahim "a threat" and that investigators had found information about him that raised a "level of alarm."
Local prosecutors have opened an investigation into whether the police shooting was justified.
