The FBI identified the suspect who took four people hostage Saturday at a Colleyville, Texas, synagogue as Malik Faisal Akram, 44. Authorities said Saturday night that Akram had died, while all four hostages made it out alive.
Akram was a British citizen, the FBI said. It's unclear when he came to the U.S
Four hostages were held inside the synagogue for hours, with one male hostage being released around 7:30 p.m. ET. Shortly after 10:30 p.m., Texas Governor Greg Abbott said the remaining three hostages were "out alive and safe."
Authorities said shortly afterward that the suspect was dead.
Authorities did not reveal a specific motive, but the FBI said it believes the hostage-taker was "singularly focused on one issue, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community." A source close to the incident told CBS News that they believe the hostage-taker had asked for the release of Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani woman serving an 86-year sentence in federal prison for trying to kill U.S. officers in Afghanistan

He’s British, Jim.
“gaslighting “ IOW lying. Have they guessed at a motive yet?
Islam is as Islam does.
Muslims, democrats, commies and terrorists (I repeat myself) are all against G-d believing Jews and Christians.
He’s British in the same way Obama is American.
I wonder what his motive was. I wonder why he came to the United States. I wonder why he chose to attack a bunch of Jews in a synagogue. I wonder why he had a traditional Middle Eastern sounding name. I wonder why he was dead at the end of the standoff. What a strange and interesting sequence of events. Must be those pesky white people and their privilege. </sarcasm>
“ It’s unclear when he came to the U.S”
—————————————
Meaning he was here illegally.
Wait for it…
ROP strikes again...
Um, someone did something?
Of course it's unclear when he came to the US. The border is wide open!
Nothing to do with Jewish people? Why, he could have just as easily chosen a Methodist church.
Rogue Amish, or was he wearing a MAGA hat?
I am curious how or why he was admitted into the US or if he came across the southern border.
Stop and think about it..... the subject was known as the brother of Lady AQ - a sentenced terrorist.
How did he get here? There is no good answer for the government..... either they admitted him through legal channels despite the fact that he HAD to be on their radar OR he slipped across our southern border.....
I hope and pray no innocents are harmed because of these policies but I know its coming. Will people connect the dots?
He was looking for a hardware store or a coffee shop but stumbled into a Synagogue by chance.
So it just happened to be a synogogue?
I guess that they are so numerous in Texas that you can't help stumbling into one.
I’ve read two articles now and no-one is saying how he died.
Covid, I assume.
lemme see... hmmm brother of a captured imprisoned terrorist
FBI— “nahh he`s harmless..
he hasn`t done anything yet...
\Don`t bother watching him.
Just keep you eyes and ears fixed on those PARENTS!”
