In the United States, a man has been charged for killing Muslim men

The US police who were searching for the person who murdered four Muslim men in a city in New Mexico announced on Tuesday (August 9) that they had captured their “main suspect” and charged him with responsibility for two of the killings.

The deaths, three of which took place within the past couple of weeks, had sent shock waves through the Muslim minority in Albuquerque, with community leaders warning of a growing sense of terror.

But on Tuesday, investigators stated that they had located 51-year-old Afghan immigrant Muhammad Syed thanks to a tip from the public.

The detectives had previously asked the general public for assistance in solving the case by releasing a photograph of a vehicle that they felt was connected to the murders of the South Asian males. This led to the development of the breakthrough.

On Twitter, Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina stated that the department has “tracked down the vehicle that is thought to be involved in a recent murder of a Muslim guy in Albuquerque.”
