Two retired FBI agents who investigated the 1993 World Trade Center bombing have criticized New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for campaigning alongside Imam Siraj Wahhaj, a Brooklyn cleric with ties to the attack and a history of defending convicted terrorists. Mamdani attended prayers at Wahhaj's mosque and shared a photo praising him as a community leader, sparking outrage among law enforcement and Muslim reform advocates. Critics argue that Mamdani's association with Wahhaj, known for his radical views and controversial statements, raises concerns about the candidate's judgment and the normalization of extremist ideologies in American politics. The controversy has ignited debate within the Muslim community and beyond, with some warning that Mamdani's actions undermine efforts to separate faith from extremism and send troubling signals about the future direction of city leadership.
