Muslim boy in US killed in attack linked to Israel-Hamas war

US President Joe Biden condemned the killing of a six-year-old Muslim boy as a "horrific act of hate" on Sunday, after authorities charged the assailant with murder and hate crimes for an attack allegedly linked to the war between Israel and Hamas.

The child was stabbed 26 times by his landlord on Saturday and later died at hospital, while his 32-year-old mother was also wounded but expected to survive, the Will County sheriff's office in Illinois said in a statement.
