Feds warn on violent reprisals by Muslims after Detroit imam shooting death
While groups like CAIR are beating the "backlash" drum to avoid answering questions about the violent Islamic supremacist ideology preached by Detroit imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah that led to his death last week during a shootout with the FBI, the Feds are warning of a possible backlash of their own by Muslims who may be looking to settle the score with law enforcement. This news comes from a homeland security fusion center that issued a warning late last week to law enforcement.
From the Washington Times:
Federal officials have issued a warning that the shooting death of a radical Sunni Islamic leader in Michigan on Wednesday night may engender retaliatory violence against law enforcement officers there as well as in the Washington area, though law enforcement officials played it down as a routine measure.Gunfire erupted during the arrest of Ummah leader Luqman Abdullah and members of his group after Abdullah pulled a gun and shot and killed an FBI canine, according to a document obtained by The Washington Times from the Washington Regional Threat and Analysis Center (WRTAC).
FBI agents returned fire at the warehouse in Dearborn, Mich., and killed Abdullah, who was charged with selling stolen goods and illegal possession and sale of firearms.
"Abdullah's death and associated arrests may foster resentment, violent rhetoric, and threats from Ummah adherents," said the raw intelligence document issued by the WRTAC.
"Because of the group's anti-law enforcement sentiments, law enforcement officers should be particularly mindful of this change in the threat environment and the possibility for retaliation," the WRTAC said.
As for implications in the D.C. area, the WRTAC said that "Ummah sympathizers or other similar groups may be operating in the National Capital Region. Officers should be alert for possible retaliatory actions as a result of the FBI Detroit raid."
