US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has shot dead a Muslim group leader who purportedly incited violence and sought to establish an 'Islamic' state in America.
FBI announced the killing of the 53-year-old Detroit Muslim leader, Luqman Abdullah, on Wednesday for his conspiratorial role in leading a 'violent' Muslim group of 11 members in order to 'take out the US government' and set up a 'sovereign Islamic state' within US borders,
The FBI eliminated Masjid al-Haqq group, which reportedly operated around Detroit, Michigan and 'espoused the use of violence against law enforcement', a 45-page allegations dossier of the top federal criminal investigative body reads.
The US investigative agency portrayed Abdullah as a 'highly placed leader of a nationwide radical fundamentalist Sunni group consisting primarily of African Americans, some of whom converted to Islam while they were servicing sentences in various prisons'.
Abdullah was killed after he engaged the FBI operatives at the congregation place of the group which also faces accusations of 'fraud, conspiracy for revolution, selling stolen goods, and illegal possession of firearms' amongst other charges.
"Members and former members of the Masjid al-Haqq have stated they are willing to do anything Abdullah instructs and/or preaches, even including criminal conduct and acts of violence," AFP quoted the FBI document as saying.
The report goes further in its incrimination of the Islamic leader and alleged that Abdullah sought to instate the detained leader of the former outlawed Black Panther Party, Jamil Abdullah al-Amin, for his Islamic state.
Black Panther was instigated in the 60's in order to help redeem the rights of the African Americans, but went down eventually in 1976 over its anti-capitalistic approaches.
Despite FBI's Wednesday raid, three members of Abdullah's group still remain at large.
