US President Joe Biden has condemned the "horrific" murders that killed 4 Muslims in Albuquerque, the largest city in the US state of New Mexico, which the city authorities described as "targeted murders", and police believe they are linked to each other. "I am outraged and saddened by the horrific killing of four Muslim men in Albuquerque," Biden said in a tweet via his Twitter account. "While we await a full investigation, my prayers are with the families of the victims, and my administration stands firmly with the Muslim community." "These hate crimes have no place in America," he added. Last Saturday, Albuquerque authorities announced the killing of a fourth Muslim in the city, adding that there was "reason to believe" that his death was linked to three other killings of Muslim men in the city. New Mexico Governor Michelle Logan Grisham said she would send additional police officers to Albuquerque to work with local and federal authorities to bring "the killer or killers to justice." She added: "The killings targeting Muslim residents of Albuquerque cause outrage and is absolutely unbearable." "We will continue to do everything we can to support the Muslim community in Albuquerque and Greater New Mexico during this difficult time. You are welcome here, and we stand with you."
