An SUV driver who allegedly deliberately ran over and killed a Muslim teenager outside a Missouri mosque had an anti-Islamic message painted on the rear window of his car, police have said.
Ahmed Aden, 34, is accused of intentionally swerving into Abdisamad Sheikh-Hussein, 15, as he climbed into a silver car outside the Somali Center in Kansas City on Thursday evening.
He struck the teenager - also known as 'Adam' - at high speed, nearly severing his legs. The victim was rushed to hospital with serious blood loss. But despite medics' best efforts, he shortly died.
Now, police have revealed that Aden had scrawled the words:
'Quran is a virus disease woreste than Ebola (sic)' in white paint on the back of his car before crashing into the unsuspecting teenager.
In an email, Kansas City police spokesman, Darin Snapp, told The Associated Press that the suspect's black SUV had been seen cruising around the area by patrol officers in late October.
It had already been painted with the message comparing the Quran to the deadly Ebola virus, he said. The disease has so far killed more than 5,000 people, mainly in three West African nations.
According to Fox 4 News, the suspect had also been harassing the mosque's Muslim community with anti-Islamic taunts and
violent threats and messages in the months leading up to the 'murder'.
