A
New Mexico judge on Monday agreed to release five suspects arrested on
child abuse charges at a New Mexico camp, against the wishes of both the
sheriff's department and the FBI, which described the group as "
heavily armed and considered extremist(s) of the Muslim belief."

Judge Sarah Backus ordered the suspects - Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, 40, Lucas
Morton, 40, Jany Leveille, 35, Hujrah Wahhaj, 37, and Subhannah Wahhaj,
35 - released on $20,000 bond each Monday evening, reports the Taos
County Sheriff's Office. They will be required to wear ankle monitors
and maintain weekly contact with their attorneys, and were ordered to
cooperate with the New Mexico Children Youth and Families division
(CYFD) where the
eleven children the sheriff says were being trained to commit school shootings, are being held in protective custody.

Despite authorities
finding a dead child's remains on the compound, and an alleged letter sent from one suspect to his brother
inviting him to come to New Mexico and die as a martyr, Judge
Backus ruled that the state failed to meet the burden of showing the
suspects were a danger to the community after several hours of
testimony.
State prosecutors outlined evidence suggesting that at least some of the suspects could have been planning some sort of attack.
They said Siraj Wahhaj – who also faces child abduction charges from
Georgia after allegedly taking his 3-year-old son – took several weapons
classes before coming to New Mexico, and books found on the compound
focused on how to build firearms at home.
Various weapons and ammo were found during the raid on August
3, and several more firearms were discovered in subsequent searches. The children were allegedly taught how to load and fire assault rifles.
The 11 kids found at the compound ranged in age from 1 to 15, authorities said.
Since the raid they have been placed in the protective custody of state
welfare workers with the Children, Youth and Families Department. -KOB.com
According to FBI agent Travis Taylor, according to interviews with
two teens from the compound, Siraj Wahhaj would lead rituals while
reading from the Quran, which centered on his now-dead son - who he
kidnapped from his mother in Jonesboro, Georgia in order to perform an
exorcism to cure his seizures.

We're sure Judge Backus's ruling has nothing to do with the fact that
the training camp's ringleader, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, is the son of a famous New York Imam, Siraj Wahhaj - an alleged
unindicted co-conspirator
in the 1993 WTC bombing, who testified as a character witness for the
notorious "blind sheikh" Omar Abdel Rahman - who was convicted in 1995
of plotting the attack, according to
CBS News. The senior Wahhaj was also described by Women's March founder and liberal Islamic activist Linda Sarsour as a "
mentor," and an "amazing man."

Taos County Sheriff Jerry Hogrefe said that during the initial
serving of the search warrant, their tactical team came upon children
holding boxes of ammo, and at least one child was armed when he was found.
While cross-examining of Hogrefe, the suspects' defense attorneys
each took their chance to try and distance the suspects as far from the
weapons as possible, and the connotations of violence they imply. One
defense attorney suggested it's "prudent" that children learn how to use
firearms safely, which Hogrefe agreed to.
The sheriff also confirmed that Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is
investigating the legalities surrounding the occupants' possession of
firearms.
Another defense attorney pointed out, and Hogrefe confirmed, that the
compound's occupants did not shoot at the tactical team as they raided
the compound. He did say, however, that Morton was "struggling" and
"resisting" while being arrested by deputies. -KOB.com
In reaction to Judge Bacuss's decision, New Mexico Governor Susana
Martinez said she "strongly disagreed" with the outcome of the hearing,
stating "Unfortunately, it highlights how extreme the New Mexico Supreme
Court has been in dictating pretrial release for all kinds of dangerous
criminals."
