American dream turns fatal: Did Sept. 11 vengeance kill Milltown man?
Four days after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, a Pakistani man from Milltown, N.J. was shot to death inside his grocery store in Dallas, Texas. The editor of the Home News Tribune sent Serrano to Dallas to investigate the murder that caught international attention and sparked a federal investigation. Police and FBI investigators have not yet found Waqar Hasan's murderer, but do believe the crime was hate-motivated, as the killer took nothing from Hasan's store after he killed him. The story examines Hasan's flight from the streets of Karachi to the crime ridden neighborhood of Dallas where his store was located.
