Former NFL player, black supremacist charged with killing
- By Amy Westfeldt/Associated Press Writer
NEWARK, N.J.- A former National Football League player who admitted to killing
seven people in Florida with a black supremacist cult was charged Tuesday with
the 1984 sacrificial slaying of a homeless white man. Robert Rozier, 43, is the second person to be charged with the slaying of Attilio
Cicala, who was found stabbed eight times in the chest and abdomen outside the
cult's temple in Newark in 1984. Prosecutors said they believed cult members offered Cicala up as a sacrifice a
few days before the cult's leader was to visit Newark. Rozier, who also called himself Neariah Israel, or "Child of God," was the leader
of the Yahweh Ben Yahweh Temple in Newark at the time of the killing, prosecutor
Patricia A. Hurt said. The temple no longer exists. Yahweh Ben Yahweh, which means "God the Son of God" in Hebrew, is a Black
Israelite sect that believes blacks are the lost tribe of Israel and the true
Jews and that white people are devils.
