Army officials at Fort Benning are investigating the beating of a Jewish soldier. 20-year-old Pvt. Michael Handman of Atlanta says another soldier knocked him unconscious Sept. 24. Before the attack, Handman told his parents one sergeant used an anti-Semitic slur and another ordered him to remove his skullcap in a dining hall. A Fort Benning spokeswoman said today an Army private is being held on suspicion of attacking Handman, but he has not been charged.
