One of the men arrested after authorities found 11 hungry children living in filthy conditions in New Mexico last week is the son of an imam who has a possible link to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Siraj Ibn Wahhaj shares a name with his father, Imam Siraj Wahhaj, who heads the Masjid At-Taqwa in Brooklyn, a mosque that has attracted radical speakers over the years, reported the Associated Press.
