The Muslim extremist father arrested at a New Mexico compound with 11 starving children had been training them to carry out school shootings, new legal documents claim.
Siraj Wahhaj, 39, was arrested at the compound in Amalia on Friday with his brother-in-law, wife and two sisters.
He was heavily armed with an AR-15 rifle and four pistols when police stormed the compound to arrest him.
In court documents filed on Wednesday, prosecutors claimed he was using the weapons to train the children to perform mass school shootings.
It is not yet clear if they had set out a specific plan targeting any one school or if the practice was general.
The compound is close to the Colorado border.
The FBI had been watching the compound for months after being led to it in their hunt for three-year-old AG Wahhaj, Siraj's disabled son who he vanished with in December.
Their explanation for not raiding it is that they did not have a warrant because AG was never physically seen there.
Police now fear the remains of a young boy which were found on the compound this week may be his but they are yet to be formally identified.
