A Detroit imam shot and killed Wednesday in a gunfight with federal agents belonged to a Muslim separatist sect led by Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, better known as 1960s militant H. Rap Brown, according to a federal complaint filed Wednesday.
Al-Amin is serving a life sentence at Supermax, a federal facility in Colorado known as the country’s most secure.
