Investigators Probe Arizona Gunman's Links to Hate Group 
---------------------------------------------------------



A U.S. Department of Homeland Security memo indicates authorities are
investigating whether Jared Lee Loughner, who opened fire at public
event hosted by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson, had ties to American
Renaissance, an anti-Semitic, anti-immigration hate group. The Southern
Poverty Law Center said some of Loughner's online writings reflect the
views of members of the anti-government Patriot movement.
