A former radicalized Muslim who was a member of the PLO before converting to Christianity two decades ago says he has identified a number of high Saudi Arabian officials, including a defense attaché, as being linked to a Virginia residence where local authorities have launched a "domestic servitude" investigation.
According to local reports, including those at WAMU, immigration officials last week began investigating a report of human trafficking at a Fairfax County, Va., home that is owned by Saudi Arabia.
Reports said two possible victims of "domestic servitude" were removed from the residence and Brandon Montgomery, a spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, told the station authorities were beginning a full investigation.
Station WTOP noted that U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., was looking for action to follow.
"We should tell those people they have to leave the country and I think the State Department ought to make it clear to the Saudi government that this must never happen again, period," the congressman said.
He said the situation could have ranged from low- or unpaid domestic help to servitude as a sex slave.
There was no comment from Saudi Arabia's embassy or officials, but Walid Shoebat said in a website report that "several from the highest profile Saudi military attaches resided there or used this address and were possibly 'served' at this compound by the two workers."
