The wife of Ahmad Khan Rahami, the Elizabeth man who is facing federal and state charges in connection with bombing incidents in New Jersey and New York, has returned to the U.S., a federal law enforcement source said.

Asia Bibi Rahami arrived at JFK airport in New York on Wednesday night and will be questioned by authorities, the source said. Information about where she is currently is not being released, the source said.

Asia Bibi Rahami left the country for her native Pakistan in June and was stopped by officials in the United Arab Emirates on Monday, the source said.

As of Tuesday night, Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28, was unconscious and intubated at University Hospital in Newark two days after being wounded during a shootout with Linden police before his arrest.

Ahmad and Asia Rahami met and married in Pakistan in 2011, and in 2014, Ahmad Khan Rahami had called the office of Rep. Albio Sires (D-8th Dist.) to help him bring Asia to the United States.

"He wanted his wife to come from Pakistan," Sires said. "At the time she was pregnant and in Pakistan. They told her that she could not come over until she had the baby, because she had to get a visa for the baby."

He said Rahami was "kind of nasty." Asia Bibi Rahami eventually was allowed to enter the United States, he said.

Another woman, the mother of Ahmad Khan Rahami's first child, issued a statement Wednesday night pleading for privacy and saying Rahami has not come to see his 9-year-old daughter in more than two years.

"Ahmad Rahami and I have a child together, but neither my child nor I have had any physical contact with him in more than two years. In addition, he has only reached out to us one time in the last year," said the mother, Maria, whose full name is being withheld by NJ Advance Media.

On Tuesday, Superior Court Judge Peter Barnes granted the mother temporary sole custody of the girl, and ordered that Rahami have no contact with the child pending a Sept. 27 hearing in Family Court in Middlesex County, where the mother and daughter live.

However, Barnes denied the mother's request for a court order to change the girl's name.
