Mr. Cham,

Please accept this as a confirmation of this SAD news.

It is clearly a very sad and unfortunate incident considering that some of
these people have families.

Because, I am reluctant to speculate on the details of there arrest until we
can find out exactly what happened, on behalf of all Atlanta Gambians, we
pray and hope that everything will be alright.

We the Gambians in Atlanta hope to quickly solve this problem and will keep
you informed with utmost respect to these victim's privacy.

Best Regards,

Lekbi- Atlanta
