>From the New York Times, Jan 19, 1973:
WASHINGTON, Jan.18 Two adults and five children were slain late today in
a house once owned by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar... From sketchy police
reports, it was learned that the adults had been shot to death and that
three of the children had been drowned in a bathtub. The two other
children apparently had also been shot to death... There was no
explanation for the shootings, but the execution-style killings pointed
to a feud between members of the Hanifi sect of the orthodox Muslims.

Were those children murderers or victims?

I was referring to the seizure of a building and several hostages by the Hanafis. As I recall, they killed several people during their seige, and police killed some of them also. There was a big flap recently when one of them was parolled. If you were referring to another incident, my apologies. If I have inadvertantly referredto the wrong group of people, I am truly sorry.
