A grand jury in Illinois has indicted a man who is accused of murder, attempted murder and a hate crime in an attack on a Palestinian-American woman and her son
A man accused of murder, attempted murder and a hate crime in an attack on a Palestinian-American woman and her son was indicted Thursday by an Illinois grand jury. The eight-count indictment against Joseph Czuba, 71, tracks the charges that were filed soon after the fatal stabbing of Wadea Al-Fayoume, 6, and the wounding of Hanaan Shahin on Oct. 14. Authorities said the victims were targeted because of their Muslim faith.
The murder charge in the indictment against Czuba describes the boy's death as the result of “exceptionally brutal or heinous behavior.” Defense attorney George Lenard has said he won't comment on the case outside court. Czuba, who is in jail, is expected to return to court Monday in Joliet, 50 miles southwest of Chicago. Earlier this week, Shahin issued a statement through the Chicago chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
