Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

New Mexico jihad compound members charged with “conspiring to attack and kill officers and employees of the US”

Mar 15, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

They were also charged with kidnapping. This group was planning to train children to become school shooters, all in the cause of jihad.

“Feds charge 5 from New Mexico compound, where 11 children were found, with terror, kidnapping offenses,” by Kathleen Joyce, Fox News, March 14, 2019:

The residents of a makeshift New Mexico compound — where 11 emaciated children were found during an August raid — were charged by federal authorities Wednesday with terror, kidnapping and firearms offenses.

“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,” Assistant Attorney General John C. Demers for the Department of Justice’s National Security Division said.

Jany Leveille, 36, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, 40, Hurjah Wahhaj, 38, Subhanah Wahhaj, 36, and Lucas Morton, 41, were charged “with federal offenses related to terrorism, kidnapping and firearms violations,” the Department of Justice said in a press release. In the original indictment, Leveille was also charged with “possessing firearms and ammunition as an alien illegally and unlawfully in the United States.”

The suspects were previously charged by indictment on Sept. 11 “with a conspiracy relating to the possession of firearms and ammunition by an alien illegally and unlawfully in the United States,” the DOJ said.

“The superseding indictment alleges a conspiracy to stage deadly attacks on American soil,” U.S. Attorney John C. Anderson said in a statement. “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 our law enforcement partners for their ongoing diligence and outstanding work in identifying and disabling imminent threats of targeted violence.”…

The defendants allegedly conspired to “provide material support in preparation for violent attacks against officers and employees” of the U.S. Siraj Ibn Wahhaj and Hujrah Wahhaj “gathered firearms and ammunition” and transported people across state lines “and constructed a training compound where they stored firearms and ammunition.” Leveille and Morton were accused of trying to recruit others.

The superseding indictment charged Leveille, Hurjah Wahhaj, Subhanah Wahhaj and Morton with “kidnapping and conspiracy to commit kidnapping.” They allegedly kidnapped a child under the age of 18 in Georgia and took him to New Mexico “where they concealed and held the child, resulting in the child’s death,” the press release stated.

Leveille, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj and Morton were charged with “conspiring to attack and kill officers and employees of the United States,” the statement read….

    So now , hopefully, they will go to trial and quickly. Then, go to a US prison where we will support them for
    years to come, while they recruit other prisoners to become Muslim and join their jihad movements!
    The cycle never ends! When you see reps like Omar and Tlaib, elected lacking legal qualifications
    and the take over of cities in Minnesota and cities like Dearborn and Hamtramck in Michigan, that
    are almost 100% Muslim, wearing burkas and all, it’s a trend that will be hard to reverse. It’s invasion never acclimation! Never acclimation!!!
    We can thank Pres Clinton for bringing in the Somalians in the 90s and they have multipled ten fold,
    and Obama as well, who allowed the Muslim infiltration of our government. Not to mention the thousands Obama granted citizenship to before he left office. Wake up America – before it’s too late!
    Remember 9/11!
    And all people can do is criticize Pres Trump as he tries to save America from this madness. Build the wall.
    Get tough on all immigration and student visas, and support our border patrol and stop sanctuary cities.
    Stop the brainwashing in our schools and colleges. Teach civics and government again. Stop the socialists in our government who want to destroy capitalism and our rights and freedom, Look at Venezuela!
    Let’s keep America strong and free. Stop the liberal progressive madness!! Keep America America!
    🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Trump 2020 is our only hope! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

        underbed cat says me too, I agree with your your comment Jay, 100%. It is chilling to see how quickly this happened in plain site, more of a shock that border and customs, the military, and all the organizations we have counted on for protection had leader who were completely subdued by deception of a of the complicit, politicians too busy to study a doctrine passing as a religion, stripping our national security due to ignorance of a well kept secret of the movement and goal of Islam. Isis, al queda boko harem was fought overseas, but the door was wide open and they flowed in with the the money and organizations in place to take control of the media, public opinion and land. So the terrorist walks in looking like refugees and tears of joy of the left fill buckets. The 12 Republican politicians who fight our Presidential duty to protect citizens with emergency funding don’t know the seriousness of the situation. Until…..they act.

    In the original indictment, Leveille was also charged with “possessing firearms and ammunition as an alien illegally and unlawfully in the United States.
    —
    … but since being here illegally (according to national law) is not a crime, since unelected judges have so decided, they dropped the charge.

    VERY surprised the government is bringing charges. Do they realize that these people are Muslims and are above our law? I was surprised they didn’t get released into a sanctuary city.

      Yes. Funny but unfortunately true.

    Child Abuse.

    Typical in Islam.

    Study the pattern of psychopathy and sociopathy.

    “Jihadist Psychopath” by Jamie Glazov lays it out plainly.

    I wish I had confidence in our liberal legal system for justice to be served in this case and the true face of Islam is revealed to the public. No that won’t happen. Only here at JW it will be discussed. That is it.

    Jany Leveille, 36, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, 40, Hurjah Wahhaj, 38, Subhanah Wahhaj, 36, and Lucas Morton, 41 are like the Hitlerites who founded the German National Socialist Workers Party (NASDAP).

    They are conspirators and traitors.

    “the allegation concerning the death of a young child ”

    So where is the charge of murder? At least second degree, or depraved indifference manslaughter. Something?

    And when it comes to the “conspiracy” part…how about the ‘father’ of some of them who serves as sarsour’s moslim coach? How about investigating him to see if he also conspired. How about charging all of the moslim organizations with RICO.

    Just look at the illegal one, the one who orchestrated the death of the little boy…sitting there in all white..so she can appear to be innocent. These creeps are disgusting scum. Give them what they gave the little boy.

    ……………….

    Glad they were taken down–but it did not happen before they murdered a child.

    There is a standing rule in prison “Thou shalt not suffer a child Molester to live.” These wastes of skin will have to watch their backs 24/7 a person already in prison for murder without a chance for parole will be sent to kill them. It might take awhile but it will happen we will never hear about it but it will happen.
