They began searching in the United States for the link between the killing of 3 Muslim men during the past nine months in Albuquerque, the largest city in the state of New Mexico. , and began to participate in the local police in their investigations.
The police had found the 27-year-old Pakistani, Muhammad Afzal Hussain, shot dead outside his apartment complex in Albuquerque, where he worked as the planning director of the city of Espanola.
It is reported from Muhammad Afzal Hussain that last Tuesday was the first anniversary of his assumption of office, but he was killed the day before “and it seems that he was targeted indiscriminately in a senseless violent act,” the city’s mayor, John Ramon Vigil, said in a post on On Facebook, he added that the dead man “was kind-hearted and quick to smile, respected and loved by his co-workers and community members.”
From an initial and quick investigation, it turned out that Muhammad Afzal and Afghani Aftab Hussain were “goers of the same mosque in the city,” so the police tended to have a “strong possibility” that their deaths were linked to the killing of Afghani Muhammad Ahmadi, 62, in a parking lot near a supermarket and café. On November 7, especially since the victims in all cases were ambushed, and each of them was shot without warning, as the Santa Fe New Mexican newspaper quoted the Deputy Chief of Police of Albuquerque, Kyle Hartsock, when he stated Thursday that: A strong commonality between all our victims is their race and religion,” he said.
New Mexico Governor Michelle Lynn Lujan Grisham described the killings as “outrageous (…) and the targeted killings of Muslim residents of Albuquerque are completely intolerable (…) Additional police officers have been sent to Albuquerque to work in coordination with the FBI to identify the killer or killers. To justice, and they will be found. We will continue to do everything we can to support the Muslim community in Albuquerque and Greater New Mexico during this difficult time,” she said.
