Fears serial killer targeting Muslims has struck AGAIN: Fourth Muslim man is gunned down in Albuquerque as community leaders say 'we fear for the safety of our children and our families'
2022-08-07
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Parked in Lurid Crimes, Page 3: Non-WoT unless further information indicates it was actually War on Terror stuff.
  • Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina confirmed that a fourth Muslim man was murdered as the FBI investigates the possibility of a serial killer

  • It follows the fatal shootings of three other Muslim men within a five-mile radius of each other in New Mexico over the last nine months

  • The first victim was Afghan chef Mohammad Ahmadi, 62, found outside the cafe he ran with his brother - Ariana Halal Market & Cafe - on November 7
    ...the brothers emigrated to the U.S. with their father in the 1980s.
  • The second was 41-year-old Pakistani-born restaurant busser Aftab Hussein, who moved to New Mexico in 2016
    ...recently engaged to a girl back home, was saving up to bring her here
  • On Monday the third victim was killed: 27-year-old city planner and community organizer Muhammad Afzaal Hussain, also originally from Pakistan
    ...came in 2017 for grad school, then stayed, joined by his brother and his brother’s kids.
  • Medina said police would be increasing patrol in Muslim neighborhoods

#14  In Afghani pashtuns, Ahmadi may be a surname for even Sunnis, TW. It's a farsi name, and even Iranians have it. But yes, heay be an ahmediyys too.

Yes, the Sherlocks will definitely see which masjid they went to. They should also check whether they had any gay tendencies since it could well be a moslem serial killer. Why not?

#13   Undoubtably, we will be adding the "known by law enforcement" cliche to the recipe retrospectively.

So at the moment he can be fairly described as an unknown wolf, Super Hose?

"Uhh... [fiddles with pipe]... Aha! That is exactly what I am getting at, man! What are they all doing here in the bloody American southwest?"

:-) One wonders if it was all attacks of opportunity, or if they all happen go to the same Af-Pak mosque. Also, does the surname Ahmadi mean he is one, as opposed to a “proper” Moslem?

#12  I don't think it is Islamic terror because they usually go for one big slaughter where they die along with the victims. Other than Malvo there is little of the Dexter stuff in the Islamic killing. It is more of an ADD thing.
Once you rule out Islamic terror, you are kind of in the realm of a demonic predator. Undoubtably, we will be adding the "known by law enforcement" cliche to the recipe retrospectively.

#11  ^ Are you kidding, Hose? Boy's doing his bit. However inadequate it's going to be. If at all it is an 'islamophobic' serial killer. Sheesh! I even lauded the Christchurch Terminator in Newzealand.

In Houston they have eye-ranian recruits marching to 'oh Ayatollah'!

#10  Look for a gender-fluid kid who plays a lot of Call of Duty. We have created a generation of sociopaths so the hunt will not be easy.

#5  "What do you make of all this, Watson?"

"I can't say, Holmes. This is most curious. Most curious indeed."

"Do you not see a link? A common thread? Like their names?"

"What about their names?"

"All Mohammads and Husseins!"

"Oh bosh, Holmes! When I was posted in India we couldn't fire a bullet without it hitting at least four Mohammads and eleven Husseins."

#3  It is a bit early, but I am going to put my chips on local Islamo-politics. Crazy, I know!

#1  They may be targeted. However, given one or two people are shot everyday there (first thing to look for in the local website), a whole lot of descriptive categories boxes could be checked by all the gun fire.
