A man who injured 30 people with a pressure cooker bomb has been trying to train inmates in Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correction Center to follow in his footsteps.
While in prison, Rahimi used Friday prayers to spread radical Islamist information to other Muslim inmates.
“After learning of the defendant’s radicalization efforts, the Metropolitan Correction Center (MCC) staff searched his personal property and located, among other things, an address book containing the names and inmate numbers of other defendants charged with terrorism offenses,” the letter continued.
Inmates using the law library are given access to evidence against them to help them prepare and participate in their defenses.
Rahimi is due to be sentenced on Jan. 18, 2018. He faces life in prison.
