| Mosque dispute man dies |
| 2003-03-24 |
| A 30-year-old man has died a week after he was gunned down during a dispute between members of Europe's largest mosque, police have said. Shaham Ali lost his fight for life at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham after being shot in the head in the Small Heath area of the city. West Midlands Police said two brothers charged of Mr Ali's attempted murder on March 17 may be facing fresh allegations. Sounds like the attempted murder is now successful murder... Mr Ali, a member of Birmingham Central Mosque from Acocks Green, had climbed out of a Honda Civic car in Waverley Road, Small Heath, to use a public telephone when he was hit by shots fired from a Volkswagen Golf which drew up nearby. Another occupant of the car and mosque member, Asmat Yaqub, 34, was hit in the shoulder by the same hail of bullets. Fellow members Mohammed Sharafit Khan, 30, of Fitters Mill Close, Balsall Heath, Birmingham, and his brother Mohammed Arshad Khan, 29, of Princess Road, Edgbaston, were last week charged with the attempted murder of Mr Ali and remanded in custody. Guess they showed them who's more devout... Mohammed Sharafit Khan is one of three men who has been charged with the false imprisonment of Shockat Lal, the secretary of the mosque, in a separate incident. Boy, I heard those rectory politix can be murder, but this seems a little extreme... But then, it's the Religion of Peace™, isn't it? |
