Bomb suspect Ahmad Rahami's ex files for custody of their child

Bomb suspect Ahmad Rahami's ex-girlfriend has asked a court to give her full custody of their child and issue a restraining order against him.

In a filing Tuesday, Maria Mena cited Rahami's arrest as the basis for her petition.

"Defendant has been charged with police attempted murder and is currently under protective services after possible terrorist related activities in NYC," Mena wrote in the petition filed in New Jersey Superior Court.

She said she had not spoken to Rahami since January.

Court records show that as of last year, Rahami owed Mena more than $3,000 in child support.

The two reportedly met while they were both students at Edison High School in the mid-2000s. Rahami is now married to a woman who was not in the country when he allegedly planted bombs in New York and New Jersey.

Rahami's current wife, Asia Bibi Rahimi, was interviewed by the FBI in the United Arab Emirates Tuesday and said she had no knowledge of her husband's alleged plot, a senior law enforcement official told NBC News.

She spent the summer in Pakistan and was planning on returning to the U.S. this week, but the FBI had her stopped in the UAE in order to question her more quickly, the official said, and she will resume her travel home.
