Justice Dept. Probes Imam Killing
---------------------------------



The Justice Department has launched a probe into the FBI’s killing of a
Detroit-area Muslim imam last year. The imam, Luqman Ameen Abdullah,
headed a Sunni Muslim group called the Ummah. He was shot dead during an
FBI raid shortly after being indicted on charges of conspiracy to commit
federal crimes. An autopsy report released this week shows Abdullah died
from twenty-one gunshot wounds and was found with his wrists handcuffed.
At least one of the gunshot wounds entered through Abdullah’s back.
