The FBI claims it has discovered a terrorist training camp in Macon County, Alabama. The property, near Tuskegee, is said to belong to Siraj Wahhaj, a man arrested last year at an alleged terror training camp for children in New Mexico. Wahhaj is accused of being connected to both camps.

...this plot of land in Macon County, Alabama is described in an FBI search warrant as a "makeshift military-style obstacle course" belonging to a small group of terrorists led by Siraj Wahhaj who owned the property up a long dirt road but just a few miles from downtown Tuskegee.

"Just because you’re in a small town or a small state does not mean you might not potentially have individuals engaged in the types of activities that would call into question threats to national security," says Tim Fuhrman, Former Special Agent with the FBI field office in Mobile, Alabama.

The property, similar to another compound in New Mexico the group is now linked to where federal prosecutors say Wahhaj and four other suspects were training children to carry out deadly terror attacks on American soil.

The FBI came under heavy criticism by local police officials, last year, for refusing to raid the New Mexico compound, claiming they lacked "probable cause", despite the fact that the camp was accidentally built on the wrong property. Jason and Tanya Badger, the owners of the property where the camp was found, did not want the camp there. The New Mexico camp was raided when local officials decided to move in on their own.
