Hussain Saeed Alnahdi, a 24-year-old Saudi student at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, died on Monday after being assaulted outside a busy pizza parlor. Alnahdi, a Saudi national who arrived in Menomonie to study at the university last year, is both Muslim and Arab. At 142 students in an overall student body of 9,616, Saudis make up the largest proportion of UW-Stout’s international students. Seventy miles away at the University of Minnesota on Thursday, vandals scrawled the word “ISIS” on the Muslim Student Association’s sign. “Menomonie community was safe,” said Abdirahman Kadi, another Saudi and the president of the school’s Muslim Students Association.
