SOME LOCAL NEWS: President of the Muslim Association of Virginia and a leader at the Dar AlNoor Islamic Community Center found dead in Occoquan River.

That night we were eating dinner on the terrace at Madigan's on the Occoquan, watching the police search and rescue boat searching the river under the bridge. At the time, we didn't know what was happening; only when we left to find our car parked inside a police quarantine zone did we find out that it was a recovery mission.

Interestingly, the Dar AlNoor Islamic Community Center is less than 1/4 mile from the elementary school where my wife teaches.
