  • Michigan Shootout Afermath

    Members of the Islamic community are trying to work with Michigan police and the FBI in the aftermath of a shootout at a Dearborn warehouse. 

     

    Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah was killed and several of his alleged acquaintances have been arrested.  The search is still on for two others.

     

    The FBI says the men were part of a radical Islamic group and were wanted for criminal conspiracy that involved firearms and stolen goods.  None of the men who were arrested have been charged with terrorism.

     

    The FBI is mourning the loss of one of its own.  A member of the K-9 unit, Freddy, was killed in the shootout. 

     

    Freddy joined the FBI in 2008.  He'll be buried in Quantico, VA and his name will be added to a memorial wall.

     

    If you want to send a card to Freddy's team members can send them to:

The Shooting at FORT HOOD.I have a question; Martha was talking to a Muslim person of their community, he said they condem the shooting. My question is - How can it be that muslims can run down their own family in a vehicle and another scared to go back home in fear of her father killing her? How can they say that the shooting wasn't radical Islamic doings? and I want to know if this terrorist followed the kuron? This is just the tip of the ice berg.

Freddy is a beautiful animal that gave his life in the line of duty. I am so deeply sad this had to happen. May all those involved be caught and brought to justice. If America does not take a stand against all 'Terrorism' on our American soil, we will see more anti-American murders.

The news of the death of this great FBI Agent "Freddy" has literally brought tears to this fifty year old mans eyes. My heart felt condolences go out to Freddy's team members and my heart is in pieces today. I know that Freddy, like all dogs lived only to please and Freddy did it by protecting millions of Americans. I printed out the pics on Fox.com of Freddy and tacked them on the wall beside my desk. I WILL NEVER FORGET THIS GREAT AMERICAN PATRIOT FREDDY.

My heart goes out to Freddy and his team. Freddy paid the ultimate price for our freedom. I know his handler and team members are deeply saddened by his death. Dogs are a man (and woman’s) best friend. Their loyalty and eagerness to please cannot be replicated by any human being. I’ll be sure to give my dogs, Truman and Ivy an extra hug this evening and every day to come. Thank you again for protecting the United States of America.
