Armed attack on Palestinian students in the US

Police in Burlington, Vermont, in the US, announced that they received a report of an armed attack yesterday evening and found 3 university students injured at the scene.

It was reported that the students were taken to the University of Vermont Medical Center for treatment and that their lives are not in danger.

Ambassador Husam Zomlot, Head of the Palestinian Mission to the UK, announced on his social media account that the students' names are Hisham Awartani, Kinnan Abdel Hamid, and Tahseen Ahmed.

Zomlot argued that the students were targeted while returning from dinner because they were wearing Palestinian keffiyehs, and called for an end to "these hate crimes against Palestinians."

10 THOUSAND DOLLAR REWARD FOR FINDING THE PERPETRATORS

In a written statement issued by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the largest Muslim civil rights organization in the US, a 10 thousand dollar reward was offered to anyone who provides information leading to the arrest of the perpetrator or perpetrators of the armed attack targeting the 3 Palestinian university students.

CAIR called on state and federal law enforcement in Vermont to investigate the potential bias motive behind the armed attack.

It was reported that the police are searching for the perpetrator or perpetrators involved in the armed attack.
