Police News Conference Expected in Imam’s Death

The son of a Muslim prayer leader killed during an FBI raid says an autopsy report is shedding light on what really happened.

Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah was shot to death last fall. The report shows he was struck 21 times. His son, Omar Regan tells Fox 2 his father was unjustly killed.

Fox 2’s Brad Edwards broke the story on Friday. A source close to the investigation told Edwards that Abdullah was shot in the chest, abdomen and thigh on October 28th. The source also revealed Abdullah had a bullet wound to the back and was found handcuffed.

Dearborn Police have scheduled a press conference for Monday to discuss the autopsy results. Fox 2 will be following the story on the air and on myfoxdetroit.com. Meantime, the Council on American-Islamic Relations is calling for an independent investigation.

Fox 2’s Robin Schwartz spoke with the Iman’s son by phone on Saturday.

nna lillA wa inalahi rajioon.
The arrogant ones have brainwashed the masses for years that Muslims are terrorists so how can you expect them to turn towards Muslims with compassion and mercy?
They have become Bullies and have suspended the truth and justice that they used to try to carry out in their court systems.
When will the Muslims stand up for Truth and Justice everywhere?
