The alleged head of a militant Islamic group was killed in a shootout with FBI agents in Detroit Wednesday, the FBI announced.
Luqman Ameen Abdullah and 10 other men were to be arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit a series of federal crimes.
From the FBI release: "During the arrests today, the suspects were ordered to surrender. At one location, four suspects surrendered and were arrested without incident. Luqman Ameen Abdullah did not surrender and fired his weapon. An exchange of gun fire followed and Abdullah was killed. An FBI canine was also killed during the exchange.
"Abdullah was the leader of part of a group which calls themselves Ummah ('the brotherhood'), a group of mostly African-American converts to Islam, which seeks to establish a separate Sharia-law governed state within the United States. The Ummah is ruled by Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rapp Brown, who is serving a state sentence in USP Florence, CO, ADMAX, for the murder of two police officers in Georgia. As detailed in the affidavit in support of the criminal complaint that was unsealed today, Abdullah has espoused the use of violence against law enforcement, and has trained members of his group in use of firearms and martial arts in anticipation of some type of action against the government. Abdullah and other members of this group were known to carry firearms and other weapons."
“At what point is this called a skirmish ?”
And when does the extent of their activity go beyond mere “shenanigans”?
Don't know. Here in Sweden, they are burning down buildings, cars and dropping heavy boulders (that the press report as throwing pebbles) from bridges on fire fighters and they still won't call it more than that.
Will Obama say that the FBI was behaving stupidly?
I’m surprised H Rapp was not part of the administration.
I thought Sweden had a policy of everyone of military age having a firearm? If so, time to use them on the enemy within.

Allah Fubar!
I’m saddened that a very fine police dog was lost during this operation.
RIP K9 Hero.

I join in your grief.
RIP, Doggy.
I a sure certain portions of Atlanta called the “West End” are mightily disappointed this morning.
The emotion that picture elicits from me is something other than sadness or anger...
Relief and satisfaction are mostly the dominant feelings.
Heh...
What do we mean by the American Revolution? Do we mean the American war? The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments, of their duties and obligations This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people was the real American Revolution. John Adams
God help us....out country is disintegrating before our eyes on a daily basis. I hope & pray that our military will realize the danger our country is in with 0bozo, and will take military coup action to remove 0bozo as well as the socialist demoRATs in Congress. Our survival as a country is at stake.

Lookin’ for the down side, here...
That's just nuts!
How about we vote in a Conservative house next November?
The dog deserves a medal and burial in Arlington. Four legs doesn't make one any less of a soldier.
Too bad the FBI only was able to take out 1 radical islamist.
Right now a group of left-wing lawyers are salivating all over themselves to defend these terrorist against the tyrannical and evil American Government.
I feel bad for the dog - sigh
What a senseless waste of bullets when there is so much unused rope lying around these days.
