LIFE IS A BEACH: A beach goer plays with his dogs off of Hobie Island Beach Park on Virginia Key, Wednesday, Aug. 17, in Miami. Sandals mark the crime scene, Saturday, Aug. 13, 2016, not far from the Al-Furqan Jame Masjid Mosque in the Ozone Park neighborhood of Queens, New York, where the leader of a New York City mosque has been fatally shot and an associate has been wounded in a brazen daylight attack.
The daylight slaying of a mosque leader and his associate set off fear and anguish Sunday among Bangladeshi Muslims in a New York City neighborhood, with some saying the killings appear to be an anti-Muslim hate crime. But police said there is no evidence so far to support that.
The men who gathered on the steps of the small, brown-painted Al-Furqan Jame mosque Sunday had a message for the authorities. "We want justice," Badrul Khan, the mosque's founder, said as a dozen men crowded beside him repeated the chant before a line of TV cameras, reporters and police.
