The US Department of Justice has opened a federal hate crimes investigation after a landlord in Illinois allegedly fatally stabbed a six-year-old Palestinian-American boy and injured his mother in what has been described as an anti-Muslim attack.
Joseph Czuba allegedly shouted anti-Muslim statements and attacked the mother of Wadea Al-Fayoume before he stabbed the boy 26 times in Plainfield Township on 14 October, days after Hamas attacks in Israel.
