Fears of anti-Semitisim hang over New Jersey attack probe

(AP) Investigators are looking to pinpoint what prompted a deadly attack on a Jewish market in Jersey City. There are fears that it was motivated by anti-Semitism.

The gunbattle and standoff at the JC Kosher supermarket this week left six people dead.

Officials said Wednesday a man and woman deliberately targeted the store. A law enforcement official says authorities believe the two dead attackers identified themselves as part of a movement whose members have railed against white people and Jews. The official says authorities have also found social media postings from at least one of the attackers that were anti-police and anti-Jewish.

But officials also say much remains unknown about the motive.
