SEATTLE —

Wednesday morning King County prosecutors asked the judge to add 11 new charges against 31-year-old Naveed Haq, the man accused of opening fire at Seattle’s Jewish Federation last summer, killing one woman and injuring five others.

Prosecutors filed one charge of unlawful imprisonment, five counts of burglary and five charges of malicious harassment, a hate crime.

Haq has already been charged with murder, attempted murder and kidnapping.

Haq pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity.

Last July, Haq walked into the Jewish Federation and opened fire, killing the charity organization’s annual campaign director, Pamela Weachter, and injuring five other employees.

Haq’s attorney, Wesley Richards said his client has been diagnosed as “bipolar with psychotic features” having delusions or hallucinations.

Richards said the state will have a hard time proving Haq committed the crimes out of religious hate.
