Last week, authorities raided a compound in New Mexico, where 11 children living in squalor were found. One child was dead. Three women, a man, and Siraj Wahhaj, 39, were arrested. The details are disturbing. They were reportedly training these children, whose age range from 1-15 years, to commit school shootings. There are also obvious charges of child abuse. These are serious charges. There is a public danger argument, which is why the state wanted the suspects to remain in jail until trial. Well, Judge Sarah Backus felt differently, saying the state failed to meet that benchmark in their preliminary arguments and allowed most of the detained to be released on $20,000 bond. Siraj remains in custody due to a Georgia warrant for his arrest, he’s accused of kidnapping his son, who died while allegedly performing an exorcism. Siraj’s father, same name, is an unindicted co-conspirator of the 1993 World Trade Center bombings. He says the child who died in the compound is his grandson (via NBC News):
The young boy whose remains were found at a compound in New Mexico died in a religious ritual conducted because his father believed he was possessed by demons, prosecutors alleged Monday.
The boy's remains were discovered Aug. 6 after Taos County authorities raided the ramshackle compound near Amalia, where they found five adults and 11 children, ages 1 to 15, at least two of whom prosecutors said Monday were being trained to attack schools, banks and other institutions.
The boy hasn't officially been identified, but Siraj Wahhaj, a well-known imam at the Al-Taqwa mosque in Brooklyn, New York, has said the child was his grandson, Abdul-ghani Wahhaj.
Abdul-ghani, who would have turned 4 years old last week, disappeared from his home in Georgia in December. A nationwide search eventually led authorities to the compound in Taos, which was set up by the imam's son, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, 40, who authorities allege had kidnapped his son.
