New York and New Jersey bombings suspect, Ahmad Rahami's father said that he called the FBI two years ago when his son was acting violently.

That call adds to the mystery surrounding Rahami, who has been "directly linked" to Saturday's bombings.

The 28-year-old made lengthy trips to Afghanistan and Pakistan. He had a wife. She was pregnant. And Rahami spent time in jail following a family dispute.

The FBI interviewed Rahami's father in 2014 after a violent domestic dispute. That interview stemmed from a tip alleging that Rahami's father was calling his son a terrorist, according to two US officials.
