CHICAGO – The father of a 6-year-old Palestinian boy who was stabbed to death in what authorities say was a hate crime has filed a wrongful-death lawsuit.
Oday Al-Fayoume filed a lawsuit last month against the suburban Chicago landlord accused in the attack that left his son dead and the boy’s mother seriously injured.
The attack – which has renewed fears of anti-Muslim discrimination in the Chicago area’s large Palestinian community – has drawn condemnation from the White House.

Authorities allege Joseph Czuba, 71, targeted Wadea Al-Fayoume and her mother Hanaan Shahin, on October 14 because of their Islamic faith and in response to the war between Israel and Hamas. Czuba pleaded not guilty in October to hate crime and murder charges.
The wrongful-death lawsuit filed Nov. 21 in Will County names Czuba, his wife, Mary Czuba, both of Plainfield, and their property management company, Discerning Property Management.
