(NY Daily News) A Brooklyn imam once linked to the 1993 World Trade Center blast steered police to a terrorist training center for kids run by his son in New Mexico.
Imam [Siraj] Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator of terrorist bomber Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, said Thursday that he was in contact with authorities after hearing from his daughter [Subhanah] that family members — including 11 of his grandchildren — were on the verge of starvation at the compound.
“The police came in because of information that we gave them,” the elder Wahhaj said of the Aug. 3 raid where his radical Muslim son Siraj Ibn Wahhaj was arrested for suspicion of child abuse.
The family patriarch also confirmed the body of a child found on the compound was his 4-year-old grandson Abdul-Ghani Wahhaj, and appeared perplexed by the roles of his son and daughters Subhannah and [Hujrah] in the whole operation.
