Rhamani’s YouTube account, which used the username yaafghankid786, included a list of his favorite videos, according to a criminal complaint filed by Peter F. Licata, a special agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Joint Terrorism Task, the [New York _Times_ reported](http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/21/nyregion/ahmad-khan-rahamis-youtube-account-included-jihad-videos-complaint-says.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur&%5Fr=0 "undefined"). One of the videos referenced a martyr’s anthem, and the other featured images of battles on a desert, according to the _Times,_ citing the criminal complaint. The 96 videos on the list also included love songs, a clip from _Judge Judy_ and a cat video. They were created by others, not by Rahami, authorities said. Rahami, who was captured on Monday and remains hospitalized with gunshot wounds from a police shootout, is suspected of planting explosives in New York City and New Jersey last weekend. The blast in Manhattan on Saturday injured 31 people. \[[_NYT_](http://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/21/nyregion/ahmad-khan-rahamis-youtube-account-included-jihad-videos-complaint-says.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur&%5Fr=0 "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4502525/ahmad-khan-rahami-jihad-youtube-videos/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4502525/ahmad-khan-rahami-jihad-youtube-videos/"},"headline":"Ahmad Khan Rahami Listed Jihad Videos, Judge Judy on YouTube Account","datePublished":"2016-09-21T12:01:19.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-23T00:43:50.677Z","description":"Authorities included details about his YouTube account in a criminal complaint","url":"https://time.com/4502525/ahmad-khan-rahami-jihad-youtube-videos/","keywords":["New York"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt662a019983afa7e7/6988a6f38e060164ff4678a8/ahmad-rahami.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Katie Reilly","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/katie-reilly/"}],"articleSection":"U.S.","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt662a019983afa7e7/6988a6f38e060164ff4678a8/ahmad-rahami.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"ahmad-rahami","caption":"This Sept. 2016 file photo provided by the Union County Prosecutor’s Office shows Ahmad Khan Rahami, who is in custody as a suspect in the weekend bombings in New York and New Jersey.","creditText":"Union County Prosecutor’s Office/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/us/","name":"U.S."}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4502525/ahmad-khan-rahami-jihad-youtube-videos/","name":"Ahmad Khan Rahami Listed Jihad Videos, Judge Judy on YouTube Account"}}]}] ```
