In Detroit, the leader of a militant Islamist group has been fatally shot in a federal raid. Luqman Ameen Abdullah headed a Sunni Muslim group called the Ummah, which has advocated a separate Muslim nation within the United States. Abdullah was killed Wednesday in one of three raids on his group around Detroit. He and ten others had recently been indicted on charges of conspiracy to commit federal crimes but never faced terrorism charges. The FBI says Abdullah was shot dead after he refused to surrender and opened fire on federal agents. Six other suspects were also arrested in the raids.
