Oregon Man Shouts "Go Back to Your Country, Terrorist!" During Assault
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Salem, Oregon, police arrested a 52-year-old man Saturday after he
allegedly entered a Middle Eastern restaurant and shouted racist
epithets while beating an employee with a pipe. Jason Kendall told
investigators he entered the Al Aqsa restaurant near the state Capitol
building and decided to assault a "Saddam Hussein-looking guy,"
shouting, "Go back to your country, terrorist! Get out of America!"
