Yusef Salaam is running for a City Council seat in New York, in Harlem, and is proudly highlighting an endorsement from Imam Siraj Wahhaj.
Wahhaj was identified, along with 170 others, as one of the “unindicted persons who may be alleged as co-conspirators” in the 1993 terrorist attack on the WTC that killed six people.
The Gateway Pundit reported that Wahhaj defended the convicted WTC bomb plotters and called the FBI and CIA the “real terrorists,” saying he hoped all Americans eventually become Muslim.
Wahhaj also served as a character witness for the “blind sheikh”-Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman —convicted in 1995 of plotting terrorist attacks in the U.S.
