Officials cite 'terrorist attack' document in New Mexico compound case
SANTA FE - Prosecutors seeking to keep two men and three women jailed on child-abuse charges in northern New Mexico now say they seized a document titled “Phases of a Terrorist Attack” at the filthy desert compound where 11 children and a dead boy were found.
In a court filing Friday, prosecutors said the hand-written document had instructions for “The one-time terrorist” and mentioned an unnamed place called “the ideal attack site.”
The document was submitted as evidence but not made public. Prosecutors are challenging a judge’s ruling that would release the adults to house arrest with ankle bracelets — although none has been released amid death threats against the judge and concerns for the defendants’ own security.
The newly submitted documents did not make clear whether there was an alleged attack plan and no terrorism-related charges have been filed.
