Fear spreads among the US Muslim community after 4 Muslims were killed in a string of killing in the united states New Mexico. Several Muslim men in Albuquerque were killed last weekend, and authorities have not ruled out the possibility of a link between those killings and the death of the fourth victim. It is known that the race and religion of the victims were factors in three of the killings in the last week. In a police statement, they said investigators believed Friday's murder may have been connected to three recent murders of Muslim men who were also from South Asia. There is a vehicle that the police think is linked to the killings, which residents are asked to help them find. Residents of Muslim neighborhoods are facing an “alarmed panic” as authorities appeal for help in their investigation.
Muhammad Afzaal Hussain, 27, was fatally shot just a few blocks away a week ago Monday, said Mr. Hussain, 41, whose younger brother was killed. The four Muslim men killed recently in the city - three in less than a month - are believed to be connected and targeted because those four were Muslims.
Salem Ansari also reported that some people who work night shifts and attend the mosque have resigned from their jobs in the nearby areas where the killings had happened. "This is a dire situation," Mr. Ansari said.
Despite growing up as a Muslim in Albuquerque, Ahmad Assed, president of the mosque, never felt isolated. Currently, however, there is an atmosphere of panic in the community, he claimed.
