Son of Long-Time CAIR Adviser Siraj Wahhaj and Three Others Convicted on Terrorism Charges: Was Training Kids to Commit Terroristic Attacks in the U.S.

On October 17, 2023, a federal jury returned guilty verdicts against the son of  Brooklyn imam, Siraj Wahhaj, who was listed as one of the conspirators behind the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Younger Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, his sisters Hujrah Wahhaj and Subhanah Wahhaj, and Subhanah’s husband, Lucas Morton, were all convicted of terrorism. They are hoping that their sentences are decided by a Democratic judge who could set them free, citing a necessity to strike back against the United States.

The charges they were convicted of includes conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, providing material support to terrorists, and conspiracy to murder an officer or employee of the United States. They were also convicted of conspiracy to commit kidnapping resulting in death, and kidnapping resulting in death. The fifth co-conspirator,  Jany Leveille had already pleaded guilty to conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and being in possession of a firearm while unlawfully in the United States.

More from New York Post report in 2018:

A 13-year-old boy found at a New Mexico compound with the son of a controversial Brooklyn imam says he was being trained for “jihad” with firearm and hand-to-hand combat techniques, according to new court documents.

Siraj Ibn Wahhaj — whose dad runs a mosque in Bedford-Stuyvesant and has been linked to the 1993 World Trade Center bombings — was preparing the 13-year-old and his teen brother to fight against non-believers through techniques including rapid reloads and hand-to-hand combat, he told FBI agents.

The 13-year-old, whose mom was dating Wahhaj, was one of 11 kids and five adults found living at the squalid, armed compound in Taos County when it was raided on Aug. 3.

The body of Wahhaj’s 3-year-old son, Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj, was also found there.

The 13-year-old says he watched the man and his mom perform an “exorcism” ritual over the boy — including one in which the youngster choked and his heart stopped, according to a special agent’s affidavit filed in US District Court in New Mexico.

It all began when a three-year-old boy, Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj, who was abducted by his father, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, from Georgia. The family removed him to a remote location in New Mexico where they performed daily exorcisms on the boy, who tragically died two weeks after arriving at the compound. Exorcists can be bad. My sister missed three payments to her exorcist and she was repossessed.

From The Gateway Pundit

The Gateway Pundit previously reported in 2019 that a homegrown Islamic terrorist training camp was discovered in Alabama. The property belongs to terrorist Siraj Wahhaj, who was arrested at a camp in New Mexico in 2018. Wahhaj was training children at the dump for terror attacks.

The compound, located in Taos County, New Mexico was a fortified base with a firing range. Armed with 11 firearms, including an AR-15 Bushmaster assault rifle, high-capacity magazines, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, the group conducted weapons and tactical training. They spoke of waging jihad and becoming martyrs. When law enforcement raided the compound, they found the remains of Abdul-Ghani in an underground tunnel.
