When told on Thursday that law enforcement officials contradicted his version of events, he said, “It’s a lie,” and that he stood by his account. Law enforcement officials said that investigators did not interview Ahmad Rahami because he was in jail when the F.B.I. Still concerned about his travel, officials notified the National Targeting Center, a federal agency that assesses potential threats, two law enforcement officials said. Court records show that a grand jury declined to indict Ahmad Rahami on the charges. The father said he believed he did his duty by sharing his concerns with law enforcement.
