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."
And? Are you suggesting that the arrests should not have been made for fear of reprisal? If the FBI knew enough about this group to arrest them surely they know and monitor their associates also.
LOL, come to think of it you’re right.
That’s about the only way you’re going to get Charlie Rangel deposed from the House Ways & Means Chairmanship.
If Cinque were alive today, he'd be called an imam, too.
That’s what I was just thinking...exACTly!
I'll reserve my tears for the dog.
Didn’t that come from some computer game? Awesome graphics...looks like the judgment of God on D.C.
