Washington (Sinclair Broadcast Group) -- Initially to the naked eye it looked like a garbage dump, but the garbage didn't consist of household refuse or abandoned cars, it was terrorists.
“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,” Tim Fuhrman, Former Special Agent with the FBI field office in Mobile, Alabama, said.
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. They blow up so quickly.
FBI Assistant Director for the Counterterrorism Division Michael McGarrity told lawmakers on Capitol Hill there are 850 open domestic terrorism investigations, with 40% racially motivated violent extremism.
“The threat of domestic terrorism exists in every region of the United States and affects all walks of life.”
In the Alabama case the group may not have carried out an attack, but the remains of a child believed to belong to Wahhaj, who is being charged with kidnapping, were also found on the property.
“Sometimes if you see something it isn’t suspicious, it’s someone exercising their first amendment rights or living the way they do that you may not agree with but does not pose a criminal or national security threat. But sometimes they actually are.”
The FBI, in a search warrant, described the land in Macon County, Alabama as a "makeshift military-style obstacle course." It belongs to a small group of jihadi terrorists led by Siraj Wahhaj. He owns the land up a long dirt road several miles from downtown Tuskegee.

For example, if they're screaming "Allahu akbar!" while shooting at human-depicted targets wearing crosses and Jewish Stars, you might want to call the FBI.
