DETROIT (Oct. 28, 2009) — Federal authorities say a leader of what they describe as a nationwide radical Sunni Islam group has been fatally shot during an FBI raid of a warehouse in Dearborn, Mich.
The U.S. attorney’s office in Detroit says Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah refused to surrender during an FBI raid Wednesday and was killed in an exchange of gunfire.
Abdullah and 10 others were charged in a complaint with conspiracy to commit several federal crimes, including illegal possession and sale of firearms and theft from interstate shipments.
Authorities say an FBI dog also was killed during the raid.
