Court Documents: Weapons Training and Raid Friday

court documents: Prosecutor Timothy Hasson filed the court documents while asking that Wahhaj be held without bail after he was arrested last week with four other adults facing child abuse charges, according to CTV. He poses a great danger to the children found on the property as well as a threat to the community as a whole due to the presence of firearms and his intent to use these firearms in a violent and illegal manner, Hasson wrote. The documents say Siraj Ibn Wahhaj was conducting weapons training with assault rifles at the compound near the Colorado border where authorities say they found 11 hungry children living in filthy conditions in a raid Friday. Prosecutors did not bring up the school shooting accusation in court on Wednesday during an initial appearance by the abuse suspects. In the court documents, authorities said a foster parent of one of the 11 children removed from the compound had told authorities that the child had been trained to use an assault rifle in preparation for a school shooting. A judge ordered Wahhaj held without bond pending further proceedings. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
