A man described by prosecutors as a devout Muslim and who is accused of a murder spree that left four people dead in two states, told police that the killings were part of a "bloody crusade" to exact vengeance for actions by the United States in the Middle East, according to court documents.
Prosecutors in Washington charged Ali Muhammad Brown, 29, on Wednesday with first-degree aggravated murder in the April 27 shooting of Leroy Henderson, 30, in Skyway, south of Seattle. Brown was previously charged with aggravated murder in the June 1 shooting deaths of two men in Seattle, Ahmed Said and Dwone Anderson-Young.
In early August, Brown pleaded not guilty to killing a college student Brendan Tevlin, 19, on June 25 in New Jersey. His public defender had no comment at that appearance. Brown allegedly told police that his mission was "vengeance" for the "millions of lives lost every day" in countries like Iraq and Syria.
"All these lives are taken every single day by America, by this government. So a life for a life," he told detectives, NJ.com reported, citing court documents.
The paper reported that Brown allegedly confessed to killing the men.
