A man wearing "a long black burka over his face" robbed a TD Bank branch in Maryland. He demanded money while brandishing a gun and then fled with an unknown amount. The robber, who employees believe was male because of his voice and build, spoke with "a Middle Eastern" accent, police say. They have released a description of what they believe was the robber's vehicle—and a description of the burka. Read the full article at the Washington Post. (More burka stories.)
