Maryland: FBI Probing Murder of African-American Student as Hate Crime
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In Maryland, the FBI is investigating the murder of an African-American
student as a possible hate crime, after police discovered that his
alleged killer was part of a white supremacist Facebook group called
"Alt Reich: Nation." University of Maryland student Sean Urbanski, who
is white, has been charged with first-degree murder for fatally stabbing
23-year-old Richard Collins II, an African-American student at Bowie
State University who was visiting the University of Maryland during
graduation weekend. Collins was set to graduate this spring.
