CNN —A Chicago-area woman who was stabbed multiple times in an alleged anti-Muslim attack that left her 6-year-old son dead last week has been released from the hospital, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Chicago office. The family was “targeted by the suspect due to them being Muslim and the ongoing Middle Eastern conflict involving Hamas and the Israelis, the sheriff’s office said. Shahin was rushed to the hospital with more than a dozen stab wounds, the sheriff’s office said. CNN has reached out to CAIR Chicago and the sheriff’s office for more information. Shahin is from a village in the West Bank, according to Ahmed Rehab, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations Chicago.
