DEARBORN, Mich. (WXYZ) - Two suspects are still missing in connection with the FBI raids that were conducted in metro Detroit Wednesday.

Meanwhile, police have captured another suspect in the wake of the raids.

The FBI announced that Mujahid Carswell, also known as Mujahid Abdullah, was taken into custody by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police at around 1:00 p.m. Thursday. He was captured in Windsor and taken into custody without incident. He is being detained by the Canadian Border Patrol on immigration violations.

The two missing suspects are identified as Yassir Ali Khan and Muahammad Alsahli (Philestine). The men are believed to be armed and dangerous.

The men are believed to be part of a group known as "Ummah," or brotherhood. They are a group of mostly African-American men who converted to Islam. Officials say many of them converted while in prison.

The Ummah was originally headed by Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rapp Brown. He is serving life in prison at Colorado's supermax facility for the murder of two police officers in Georgia. He was also reportedly part of the "Black Panther" group back in the 1960s and '70s.

Most of the suspects surrendered peacefully during yesterday's raid at a warehouse at Michigan Avenue and Miller. The alleged ringleader, Luqman Ameen Abdullah, pulled a gun and shot at police. He was shot and killed by FBI agents. An FBI dog was also killed in the exchange of gunfire.

In all, nine suspects are in custody and another two are on the loose. The suspects are facing federal charges for conspiracy to commit a number of federal crimes including theft from interstate shipments, mail fraud, tampering with a motor vehicle and illegal possession and sale of firearms.

The suspects who were arrested yesterday are identified as Muhammad Salaam, Adam Ibraheem, Ali Raqib, Acie Pusha, Abdul Saboor, Abdullah Beard and Abdul Saboor. An eigth suspect, Franklin Williams, was already in custody at the time of the raid.

If you have information on the whereabouts of the two remaining suspects, you're asked to contact the FBI at (313) 965-2323
