Rahami worked as an unarmed night guard for two months in 2011 at an AP administrative technology office in Cranbury, N.J. At the time, he was employed by Summit Security, a private contractor. Rahami remained hospitalized Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2016, after a shootout the day before with police in New Jersey. (Union County Prosecutor's Office via AP, File)

A federal judge has denied a public defender's request that the man charged in bombings in the New York City-region be appointed a lawyer. Prosecutors say Ahmad Khan Rahami has not officially been arrested yet by federal authorities.

Magistrate Judge Mark Falk on Friday ruled against New Jersey public defender Richard Coughlin's request.

Federal prosecutors opposed the request and say Rahami has been incapacitated at the hospital. Coughlin says he has no reason to doubt that.

Rahami faces federal charges for the bombs that exploded in New York City and a New Jersey seaside community and state charges after a shootout with police in New Jersey.

Rahami was shot multiple times in a shootout in Linden on Monday. Two officers were treated for minor injuries."


The Yahoo News article appears to be a timeline reporting scroll. The article title is different than the excerpt in the subject line though that is in the body of the "noon" reporting.
