The 73-year-old Missouri man is accused of killing three people in attacks at a Jewish community center and Jewish retirement complex near Kansas City yesterday. The terror monitoring group SITE describes the suspect as a vocal anti-Semite who frequently calls for genocide against Jews. A federal prosecutor says there's enough evidence to warrant bringing a hate-crime case before grand jury.
