Police Chief Jose Armando Polanco said Tuesday the investigation is ongoing even though suspect Jose Pimentel Sosa left the Dominican Republic at a young age and that he has no criminal past in the Caribbean country.

U.S. authorities have said that Pimentel is an "al-Qaida sympathizer" who converted to Islam in 2004 and went by the name Muhammad Yusuf. He was born in the Dominican Republic but lived most of his life in Manhattan.
