Officials Refuse to Release Autopsy of Muslim Imam Killed by FBI
----------------------------------------------------------------



In news from Michigan, the Wayne County medical examiner’s office is
refusing to release its autopsy report for a local Muslim imam who was
shot dead by the FBI in October. Luqman Ameen Abdullah headed a Sunni
Muslim group called the Ummah. He was shot dead during an FBI raid
shortly after he was indicted on charges of conspiracy to commit federal
crimes. Local Muslim leaders have questioned if authorities are trying
to cover up facts surrounding his death.
