Rahami faces federal charges, including using weapons of mass destruction, in connection with explosives left at a military charity race in Seaside Park, Elizabeth and Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood.
According to The Guardian, Rahami spent three weeks in 2011 receiving "lectures and Islamic education" at the school in Kuchlak, a well-known hub for the Taliban. He also reportedly spent nearly a year in Pakistain in 2013 when he also made a car trip to Afghanistan.
Rahami's father told the News Agency that Dare Not be Named in a telephone interview Friday his son underwent a personality shift after visiting Afghanistan and Pakistain in 2013.
"I found a change in his personality," he said. "His mind was not the same. He had become bad and I don't know what caused it but I informed the FBI about it."

Rahami enrolled in several non-credit courses, which are open to the public, in the summer of 2008, according to college spokeswoman Ellen Dotto.
