Document called ‘Phases of a Terrorist Attack’ found at NM compound

Prosecutors seeking to keep five men and women jailed on child-abuse charges in northern New Mexico now say they seized a document entitled “Phases of a Terrorist Attack” at the filthy desert compound where the children and a dead boy were found.

In a court filing last Friday, prosecutors said the hand-written document had instructions for “The one-time terrorist” and mentioned an unnamed place called “the ideal attack site.”

The document was submitted as evidence but not made public.

Prosecutors are challenging a judge’s ruling that would release the adults.

The newly submitted documents did not make clear whether there was an alleged attack plan and no terrorism-related charges have been filed.

One defendant’s lawyer said Monday he had not received the new information from prosecutors and could not comment.
