Mamdani appears smiling arm-in-arm with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, ’93 WTC bombing co-conspirator

Mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani happily campaigned with a popular Brooklyn Imam long known as an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, whose son once ran a terrorist camp for kids.

The Democratic nominee appears in a photo posted to X laughing and grinning, standing arm-in-arm with Imam Siraj Wahhaj and City Councilmember Yusef Abdus Salaam at Wahhaj’s Bed-Stuy mosque to celebrate the weekly Muslim prayer.

“Today at Masjid At-Taqwa, I had the pleasure of meeting with Imam Siraj Wahhaj, one of the nation’s foremost Muslim leaders and a pillar of the Bed-Stuy community for nearly half a century,” Mamdani wrote Friday on X.

“A beautiful Jummah,” he wrote, referencing the weekly prayer.

Mamdani was apparently invited by the Masjid At-Taqwa on Fulton Street as part of a campaigning event in partnership with Black Muslims Now, a small activist group.

The pre-Jummah address encouraged members of the community to “learn more about what [Mamdani] — NYC’s first Muslim mayoral candidate — has planned for the Black Muslim community.”

Mamdani’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Wahhaj, 75, Imam of the mosque and leader of the Muslim Alliance in North America, has a checkered past.

The religious figure was fingered by prosecutors as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which left six people dead — and had publicly defended the plotters of the attack against the FBI and CIA, which he at the time dubbed the “real terrorists.”

During subsequent trials, Wahhaj testified in support of Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman — the infamous “blind sheikh” and leader of a terrorist sect out of Egypt — calling the man a “respected scholar.”

Wahhaj, who was born Jeffrey Kearse, made headlines yet again in 2018 when three of his children were arrested for keeping 11 kids living in “Third World” conditions in a compound made of garbage in the New Mexico desert.

One of the victims told prosecutors that Wahhaj’s namesake son was training the 13-year-old and his teen brother to fight against non-believers through techniques including rapid reloads and hand-to-hand combat.

Wahhaj claimed he was the one who called the police on his sick children, leading to their arrest.
