Wadea Al-Fayoume, a six-year-old Palestinian-American boy, was fatally stabbed by his landlord in Plainfield, Illinois, in a racially motivated hate crime. Wadea was stabbed over two dozen times in the attack and died in the hospital. A funeral service and burial was held yesterday in the town of Bridgeview, which is sometimes referred to as "Little Palestine."

** CORRECTED: Former Hamas Leader Calls For Protests in 'Arab and Islamic Worlds'
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
Our initial headline read: "Former Hamas Leader Calls For 'Global Day of Jihad'". We were aware, when first publishing this article on Friday, October 13, that there were nuances to the translation of Khaled Meshaal's statement.
There are no nuances to this: Meshaal did not use the phrase "a global day of jihad." Causes should not have used the phrase in our headline. Though the day has passed, we have changed the headline to accurately reflect Meshaal's statement last week.
