-----------------------------------------------------------------

In Wayne County, Ohio, local police and the FBI are investigating an
explosion and house fire as a possible hate crime, after racist graffiti
and a swastika were found painted at the scene. The house, in the town
of Sterling, south of Cleveland, is home to an interracial couple. They
were not at home early Wednesday morning at the time of the fire, which
devastated the property.
