Craig Hicks Indicted for Killing 3 Muslim Students 
---------------------------------------------------


 
A North Carolina grand jury has indicted Craig Hicks on three counts of
murder for killing three Muslim students in Chapel Hill. Police have
claimed the shooting stemmed from a parking dispute, but the victims'
family has said it was clearly a hate crime. In a statement, Nihad Awad,
head of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said, "This case is
quickly becoming a touchstone for the American-Muslim community's sense
of security and inclusion."
