One of the men arrested in the raid on a “filthy” New Mexico compound inhabited by a group believed to be "extremist of the Muslim belief" reportedly planned an “exorcism” on a 3-year-old boy and is the son of a controversial New York City imam linked to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, 39, was among the five adults arrested when authorities on Friday searched the makeshift desert structure in Amalia, near the Colorado border. Officials said they found 11 children, ages 1 to 15, living in squalid condition there. The mothers of the 11 children — Jany Leveille, 35, Hujrah Wahhaj, 38, and Subhannah Wahhaj, 35 — and Lucas Morton were also arrested.
The children were placed in protective custody.
Taos County Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe previously said the occupants of the compound were “most likely heavily armed and considered extremist of the Muslim belief.”
Wahhaj was already being sought by police prior to Thursday’s raid in connection with the disappearance of his 4-year-old son Abdul-Ghani.
In a warrant made public Monday, Wahhaj told the boy’s mother he wanted to perform an “exorcism” on his then-3-year-old son because he believed he was “possessed by the Devil.” The boy suffered from seizures and couldn’t walk, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Abdul-Ghani’s mother reported her son missing in December after Wahhaj took the boy, who turned 4 on Monday, to the park in Clayton County, Ga., and didn’t return. Wahhaj and the boy were last seen together about two weeks after the child was reported missing. The pair were involved in a car crash on I-65 in Alabama. Another five children and two adults were also with Wahhaj and the boy in a vehicle that was registered to Morton, CBS46 reported.
Wahhaj’s family background was already controversial prior to his arrest. Wahhaj is the son of a Brooklyn imam, also named Siraj Wahhaj, who was named by prosecutors as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the New York Post reported. The elder Wahhaj, who heads Masjid At-Taqwa mosque, was a character witness in the trial for Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, the notorious “blind sheikh” who was convicted in 1995 of plotting terror attacks in the U.S.
IMAM SIRAJ WAHHAJ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siraj_Wahhaj
Hujrah and Subhannah Wahhaj, who is married to Morton, are Wahhaj Sr.’s daughters. The younger Wahhaj is married to Leveille, the New York Post reported citing public records and statements the imam made in a January Facebook post.
“Dear Brothers and Sisters, please make duas for the safe return of our children and grandchildren: Siraj, Hujrah, Subhanah Wahhaj, son in law Luqman (Lucas) Morton, and daughter in law Maryam (Jany) Leveille and their children (our 12 grandchildren). We believe they may be traveling together,” the elder Wahhaj wrote.
On Friday, authorities were searching for Abdul-Ghani when they entered the compound, which was walled off by stacks of old tires, wooden pallets and other debris. A desperate plea for help sent to a Georgia investigator stated people inside were “starving and needed food and water.”
When police arrived, Wahhaj was armed with an “AR-15 rifle, five loaded 30-round magazines, and four loaded pistols, including one in his pocket,” according to Hogrefe.
The sheriff said the children had no shoes, wore dirty rags for clothing and "looked like Third World country refugees." He described the living conditions as “the ugliest looking, filthiest” he’s ever seen.
Abdul-Ghani was not at the compound, but authorities believe the child was there in recent weeks. None of the occupants taken into custody provided any information on the child’s whereabouts.
Wahhaj was scheduled to appear in court Tuesday on a Georgia warrant seeking his extradition to face a charge of abducting his son. Wahhaj and the four other adults also face neglect and child abuse charges. Morton was arrested on suspicion of harboring a fugitive.
PLEASE WATCH Fox News Video-They mention this NM Compound as a Possible Terrorist Training Ground. This is getting really
Wonky and Scary.

REMAINS OF BOY FOUND DURING SEARCH OF NEW MEXICO COMPOUND - Announcement Coming After Autopsy
TAOS, New Mexico– The remains of a young boy were found on a compound in rural New Mexico where 11 emaciated children were discovered last week, authorities said Tuesday.
But it is unclear whether the remains found Monday are those of a missing Georgia boy, Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj, who was nowhere to be found after authorities stormed the complex on Friday. The boy’s father was suspected of abducting him eight months ago from Clayton County, Georgia.
Taos County Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe said the positive identification of the remains is pending an autopsy.
THERE IS NEW INFO FROM THE MOTHER
The boy’s mother, Hakima Ramzi, could not be reached after authorities announced the discovery of the remains.
Hours earlier, Ramzi told CNN she knew her husband wanted to rid their then 3-year-old son of his medical problems. But she had no idea he’d disappear with their son for nine months, only to be found across the country with 11 other children living in squalor.
“I haven’t seen my son in nine months,” Ramzi said on Tuesday.
“My husband said he was taking Abdul-Ghani to the park, and didn’t come back. That was in November 2017. When I would ask him where he was, he said he was on his way, he was coming soon, he was just keeping him for the night. But I haven’t seen him since then.”
She said Abdul-Ghani has hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. “He cannot walk and suffers seizures and requires constant medical attention,” Ramzi said.
An arrest warrant affidavit for Wahhaj said the mother claimed Wahhaj “wanted to perform an exorcism” on the child because he believed Abdul-Ghani was possessed by the devil.
But Ramzi clarified to CNN that her husband said he was planning to perform a ruqya — an Islamic practice involving prayer that is believed to help rid a body of illness.
“It’s not an exorcism. That was a translation issue in the court,” Ramzi said. Wahhaj “just wanted to pray for Abdul-Ghani to get better.”
So it has been MisReported It Was Not An Exorcism. It was an Islamic Prayer called Rugya to rid him of his illness, as the Mother says.

Oh no, that's just awful!

Horrid and oh so disappointingly sad. Also how CNN twisted the mother's words to mean exorcism instead of an Islamic prayer. I was going to do a post on it, but if it turns out to be him or not I will do a continuation then. Some of the land in the area is and has been owned by families for over 200 years. http://amalianm.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/historicsign.jpg

I noticed that too about the prayer vs. exorcism.
I was going to look into this more, and you may have already begun to do so, but I saw several articles where the owner of the land was interviewed. It left me with a lot of questions about what he may have known, how often he checked on his land, and if he put the trailer and other junk there or if this little group did it. Also, I know some people have commented about the trailer being described as buried and a burm present. It sounds odd, but in the New Mexico high desert it wouldn't be too unusual to do that to keep the dwelling cooler in such a hot/dry climate. Now the tunnels (if true) deserve a bigger look!

Look what I found http://www.billanddebi.com/2010/08/costilla-trip-rio-costilla.html read down and you will see that there is land owned by Ted Turner. @new4now

Oh no!!!!

Yep. And we know about Epstein too. The two of them may be controlling all of NM.
Shizy ago
And I found an article about Ted Turner fighting with the country so he didn't have to pay the full amount of property taxes on his ginormous ranch! I thought libs like him love lying their fair share of taxes????

I think people on both sides are not what they seem. What we used to attribute to liberals and republicans doesn't describe any of these perv criminals. They all talk a good game, but in the background, they are not what they seem. They are elitists, and don't want to play by the rules, no matter their party or religion. Like McCain, he is just the opposite of his party. They are as we say, wolves in sheep's clothing. BAA!!!
Shizy ago
That's exactly right! I guess my issue with Ted Turner and his ilk is that they pretend they care about the poor and paying taxes yet when it comes down too it they care about their own interested and and asses more. They are guilty of the same thing they criticize the mean "rich" republicans of doing. It's all such a sad joke.

Hasn’t Fiona Barnett names Ted Turner as a paedophile? I know I’ve read it recently and I’ve read tons of Fiona’s stuff - she’s posting everywhere like crazy right now
Shizy ago
Yes she did name him. I want to say the abuse involved a plane. Someone else may have a better memory than me.
