Remember that Terror Compound in New Mexico? | ||
2024-03-08 | ||
“Finally, to be able to put this to bed, to give some finality in sentence and some justice, it feels great.” That’s New Mexico’s U.S. Attorney Alexander Uballez satisfied with Wednesday’s sentencing of five people connected to a terrorist plot in northern New Mexico. “The horrifying events that played out in graphic detail during this three-week trial, radical ideologies to violent extremist beliefs, the banality of everyday life centered around the corpse of a dead child in a fortified compound in rural New Mexico,” Uballez said. Siraj Wahhaj,
The ring leader of the group, Jany Leveille, took a plea deal. She was sentenced to 15 years in prison. “She took responsibility, she took it early and she took it fully, and here in the United States Justice System we value folks who redeem themselves by taking responsibility for the terrible things that they did,” Uballez said. It all started after a federal raid uncovered a terrorist training ground in Taos County back in 2018. Documents state the group was plotting and training children to carry out attacks on FBI agents and government institutions. The feds found the five adults and 11 malnourished children on the property. A property that authorities say was heavily militarized. “The sentencing imposed today sent a clear message, the FBI takes its mission of protecting the American public seriously,” Ruben Morales with the FBI said. The feds claimed the group kidnapped Siraj Wahhaj’s three-year-old son from his mother in Georgia and took him to the property where he was subjected to exorcism rituals. Authorities believe they were planning to use the child as a prop in their plot to kill those who did not convert and follow Leveille. That child later died in 2017. “The heart of this case is a senseless death of three-year-old Abdul Ghani, as a father myself, I offer my deepest condolences,” Uballez said. Documents state Leveille covered up the death and convinced the group the boy would be resurrected. She was found to have acute schizophrenia that led to hallucinations and says she heard voices that made her believe she was a prophet. Leveille spoke Wednesday in court apologizing for her part and to her co-defendants saying ‘this wouldn’t have happened if I wasn’t sick.’ “While today’s sentencing can not take away the pain or fill the void of the innocent child who was kidnapped and subsequently lost his life, I sincerely hope there’s some comfort in knowing those who committed these terrible crimes have been brought to justice,” Morales said. A federal jury convicted Wahhaj and Morton on terrorism charges. The two sisters, Hujrah and Subhanah, are also facing kidnapping charges, including kidnapping resulting in death. Leveille pled guilty to conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and being in possession of a firearm while unlawfully in the United States. Once her sentence is complete, she will be deported back to Haiti because she was in the country illegally.

Father convicted of terrorism after remains of 3-year-old found in tunnels of New Mexico compound | |||||
2023-10-19 | |||||
A father has been convicted of terrorism after the remains of his 3-year-old son were found in an underground tunnel at a makeshift compound in New Mexico in 2018. Siraj Ibn Wahhaj
Jurors deliberated for 2½ days after hearing weeks of testimony from children who had lived with their parents at the compound. The defendants, who are Muslim, argued federal authorities targeted them because of their religion. Wahhaj’s brother-in-law also was convicted of terrorism charges, conspiracy to commit kidnapping and kidnapping that resulted in the boy’s death. Wahhaj’s sisters were convicted on the kidnapping charges.
The badly decomposed remains of the boy were eventually found in an underground tunnel at the compound on the outskirts of Amalia near the Colorado state line. An exact cause of death was never determined. Wahhaj represented himself in court. "The government portrayed me to look like a monster," he said, describing his family as close-knit and trying to protect his son from evil spirits. He said they used a ritual known as ruqyah in which passages from the Quran are recited. Wahhaj and the family apparently believed the boy would be resurrected as Jesus Christ and provide instructions. A sentencing date has yet to be scheduled.
Wahhaj's brother-in-law also was convicted of terrorism charges, conspiracy to commit kidnapping, and kidnapping that resulted in the boy's death. Wahhaj's sisters were convicted on the kidnapping charges. Siraj Ibn Wahhaj's partner — Jany Leveille, a Haitian national — was initially charged with kidnapping and terrorism-related charges, but instead reached a plea agreement on weapons charges. She did not appear at the trial. Evidence presented by prosecutors included passages journal from Leveille's journal suggesting she believed she was having prophecies. Prosecutors argued that the group believed she had an ability to receive messages from God. According to prosecutors, the charges related to kidnapping resulting in death carry a mandatory life sentence. The charges of providing support in preparation for terrorist attacks on U.S. government officials and employees are punishable by up to 15 years in prison, while the charge of conspiracy to kill a government officer or employee carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Minnesota State Rep: Antifa and Muslim Groups Plan to 'Police Minneapolis Under Muslim Rule' |
2020-06-27 |
![]() ...the armed wing of the Democratic Party... and Moslem organizations plan to "police Minneapolis under Moslem rule." Those who scoff at such a notion simply aren’t paying attention to recent developments.The Minneapolis City Council voted two weeks ago to abolish the city’s police force. Its plans beyond that have so far been sketchy, but something is going to have to be put in place as an alternative to the police. The New York Times ![]() ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... noted that "many have called for relying more on self-policing by the community, in the way attendees often do at events like music festivals, with the police stepping in only when a true emergency arises. Some cited as an example how, in the days after the killing of Mr. Floyd, teams made up of dozens of members of the American Indian Movement patrolled streets and directed traffic in the Little Earth housing community in Minneapolis." If members of the local community end up policing Minneapolis, what might that look like? Back in 2016, a series of Minneapolis Moslems in man-on-the-street interviews stated matter-of-factly that they preferred Islamic law over American law. We have seen Sharia patrols in Germany, Britannia, and even New York City, where the Moslem Community Patrol (MCP) is decked out in uniforms that strong resemble New York Police Department uniforms, and drives cars carefully designed to look like NYPD cars, to enforce "fundamentals of the Sharia." Moslem leader Siraj Wahhaj explained what that meant: "The mosques need protection and the MCP cars can help stop people who were not following the rules and regulations of the sharia, doing what they’re not supposed to be doing, but still doing it." According to a Moslem involved with the MCP, this would involve stopping "Moslem women being out after dark, Moslem men hanging out in the corners doing dope, Moslems drinking liquor," and enforcing, "basically, the fundamentals of the Sharia." If such a community patrol is launched in Minneapolis, it is likely to focus on the same things, but not do anything about the fact that the 5th Congressional District in Minneapolis, Rep. Ilhan Omar ...Somali- AmericanDem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side... ’s district, is the jihad terror recruitment capital of the United States. Stopping young Moslems from engaging in jihad activity is unlikely to be a high priority for a group that is dedicated to enforcing Sharia, since Sharia calls upon Moslems to wage war against and subjugate unbelievers. |

Islamist Cover-Up? Media Silent After Imam Fired in Sexual Assault Scandal |
2019-12-07 |
[PJMedia] An Arizona imam has been accused of sexual assault, child abuse, misuse of funds, and falsely presenting himself as single in order to pursue female congregants while having two concealed marriages. One mosque quietly fired him after early accusations, but another has continued to employ him. An anti-Islamist Moslem reformer has condemned a media blackout on the story, suggesting that the local Moslem community is protecting a sexual predator due to radical interpretations of sharia. "Here is the story on the imam ’quietly’ fired from our mosque in Scottsdale," M. Zuhdi Jasser, founder of the American-Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD), tweeted. "Apparently he was also a sexual predator. So tell me again this has nothing to do with their shariah supremacism, radicalism and affinity for radical imams like [Siraj Wahhaj]?" Jasser was referring to a Religion News Service (RNS) article about Moataz Moftah, a holy man who teaches youth at the Islamic Community Center of Phoenix. The article cites an exhaustive report from the victims' advocacy group Facing Abuse in Community Environments (FACE) following an 11-month investigation into Moftah's alleged misconduct. FACE released the report on November 11. |

FBI Discovers Homegrown Islamic Terror Compound In Alabama | |
2019-05-13 | |
[DAILYCALLER] The FBI has uncovered a homegrown, jihadist compound in the small Alabama town of Macon County. The FBI’s search warrant described the property as a "makeshift military-style obstacle course" in a story first reported by Sinclair Broadcast Group. The land where the group gathered reportedly looked like an "abandoned dump," and was led by Siraj Wahhaj,
Wahhaj and four other alleged Islamic Lions of Islam were indicted on terrorism, kidnapping, and firearm violation charges earlier this year. In an interview with Sinclair Broadcast Group, former FBI agent Tim Fuhrman warned of the increasing threats of domestic terror that "exists in every region of the United States and affects all walks of life." "Just because you’re in a small town or a small state does not mean you might not potentially have individuals engaged in the types of activities that would call into question threats to national security," Fuhrman said. The FBI is currently involved in 850 domestic terrorism investigations, Assistant Director for Counterterrorism Michael McGarrity said earlier this week while speaking to the House Homeland Security Committee, according to CNN. "The FBI assesses domestic turbans collectively pose a persistent and evolving threat of violence and economic harm to the United States," McGarrity said. | |

Federal Grand Jury Returns Superseding Indictment against Five Amalia, New Mexico Compound Defendants | |||||
2019-03-15 | |||||
The announcement was made by Assistant Attorney General John C. Demers for the National Security Division, U.S. Attorney John C. Anderson for the District of New Mexico, Assistant Director Michael McGarrity of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division and Special Agent in Charge James Langenberg of the FBI’s Albuquerque Field Office. These defendants were previously charged by indictment on Sept. 11, 2018, with a conspiracy relating to the possession of firearms and ammunition by an alien illegally and unlawfully in the United States. The original indictment also charged Leveille with possessing firearms and ammunition as an alien illegally and unlawfully in the United States. The superseding indictment charges all of the defendants with participating in a conspiracy from October 2017 to August 2018 to provide material support and resources, including currency, training, weapons, and personnel, knowing and intending that they were to be used in preparation for and in carrying out attacks to kill officers and employees of the United States, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2339A. "The indictment alleges that the defendants conspired to provide material support in preparation for violent attacks against federal law enforcement officers and members of the military," said Assistant Attorney General Demers. "Advancing beliefs through terror and violence has no place in America, and the National Security Division continues to make protecting against terrorism its top priority." "The superseding indictment alleges a conspiracy to stage deadly attacks on American soil," said U.S. Attorney John C. Anderson. "These allegations remind us of the dangers of terrorism that continue to confront our nation, and the allegation concerning the death of a young child only underscores the importance of prompt and effective intervention by law enforcement. I commend the FBI, DHS, ATF, Taos County Sheriff’s Office, and the Eighth Judicial District Attorney’s Office for their ongoing diligence and outstanding work in identifying and disabling imminent threats of targeted violence.

New Mexico Jihadist Update: Rift Between Police, Feds Allowed New Mexico Terror Compound To Fester |
2018-09-16 |
[The Federalist] Questions keep coming about how the U.S. justice system responded to a New Mexico compound that housed five alleged would-be jihadists and 11 reportedly malnourished children along with the remains of a twelfth child who died on the compound. A federal grand jury recently indicted the five alleged jihadists on weapons and conspiracy charges, alleging the group created their compound in the desert outside Taos, New Mexico as a training camp and firing range to facilitate a "Common plan to prepare for violent attacks government, military, educational and financial institutions" and sought to "engage in jihad and form an army of jihad" according to the federal indictment published by the Department of Justice on September 11. The five suspects‐Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, Lucas Morten, Subhanah Wahhaj, Hujrah Wahhaj, and Jany Leveille‐had previously faced state charges of child abuse, but the charges floundered in court after a New Mexico judge dismissed charges against all five suspects when state prosecutors missed a 10-day deadline for a preliminary hearing. Prosecutors argued extenuating circumstances but were rebuffed. Sadly, more follows. |

FBI Arrests 5 'Extremist Muslim' New Mexico compound residents on weapons and conspiracy charges |
2018-09-01 |
![]() The defendants, Jany Leveille, 35, a Haitian national illegally present in the United States, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, 40, Hujrah Wahhaj, 37, Subhanah Wahhaj, 35, and Lucas Morton, 40, are charged in a criminal complaint that was filed earlier today in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico. The criminal complaint charges Jany Leveille with being an alien unlawfully in possession of firearms and ammunition in the District of New Mexico from Nov. 2017 through Aug. 2018. The criminal complaint charges the other four defendants with aiding and abetting Leveille in committing the offense, and with conspiring with Leveille to commit the offense. According to the criminal complaint, on Aug. 3, 2018, law enforcement officers of the Taos County Sheriff’s Office executed search warrants at the Amalia Compound, where the five defendants were residing, and allegedly seized at least eleven firearms and a large quantity of ammunition. The complaint alleges that the firearms were transported from Georgia and/or Alabama to New Mexico in Leveille’s vehicle. The FBI arrested the defendants without incident in Taos, N.M., this afternoon with the assistance of the Taos County Sheriff’s Office. The defendants will make their initial appearances in federal court in Albuquerque on September 4, 2018. |

New Mexico compound suspects allegedly planned to attack Atlanta's Grady Hospital |
2018-08-28 |
New court documents revealed these and other details in the case against five adults who lived in squalor with 11 starving children in a ramshackle New Mexico compound. In a case infused with allegations of abuse and terrorism, prosecutors this week asked a judge to reconsider an order granting bond to all five adults arrested at the compound. As part of the request, prosecutors on Friday cited not only the death of three-year-old Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj at the remote site but also plans by the defendants to attack law enforcement and "specific targets such as teachers, schools, banks and other 'corrupt' institutions." The dead boy's father, Siraj Wahhaj, 40, and his partner, Jany Leveille, 35, have been charged with abuse of a child resulting in death, a first-degree felony with a penalty of up to life in prison, according to court documents. They were also charged with conspiracy to commit child abuse, also a first-degree felony. The couple and three other adults -- Wahhaj's sisters, Hujrah Wahhaj and Subhannah Wahhaj; and Lucas Morten -- were previously charged with 11 felony counts of child abuse. |

The New Mexico Muslim Terror Cell Case Keeps Getting Weirder |
2018-08-21 |
![]() Earlier this month, law enforcement agencies looking for a kidnapped three-year-old child raided a New Mexico compound linked to "extremist Muslims" and discovered a filthy training camp built out of trash in which starving children ranging from 1 to 15 years of age, with no fresh water, shoes, or even access to basic hygiene items were reportedly being trained to conduct school shootings. Five people were arrested and eleven children were rescued from the equally vile and violent Third World-conditions of the camp. Unfortunately, the missing child, young Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj, was not among the children rescued. What police instead found was something out of a horror movie. Siraj Ibn Wahhaj is accused of kidnapping his son in Clayton County, Georgia in December of 2017. The three-year-old child had been diagnosed with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy which rendered him unable to walk, prone to seizures, and in need of constant medical care. According to one of the children rescued by police, Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj had been denied his medication and had died in February during a botched "exorcism." When the compound was raided, Wahhaj was "heavily armed" and had been teaching the children tactical techniques in order to conduct terror attacks on schools and other "soft targets." In addition to Wahhaj, the mothers of the malnourished children were also arrested, as was Wahhaj’s brother-in-law, Lucas Morton. |
