In a major news story, four hostages were freed after a standoff at a synagogue in Texas.
The incident occurred a little before 10:40 a.m. local time, yesterday, when the police received a call about a gunman storming into the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, near Fort Worth, during morning Shabbat prayers.
The service that was live-streamed via Facebook was eventually taken down.
The terrorist was heard on the livestream demanding the release of Islamist terrorist Aafia Siddiqui who was sentenced to 86 years in prison in 2010 for assault and attempted murder of a U.S. soldier. The Associated Press reported that the gunman was also heard ranting about religion and against America.
There were four hostages in the synagogue, including the head rabbi of the synagogue, Charlie Cytron-Walker.
Rabbi Cytron-Walker has been the synagogue’s first full-time rabbi since 2006. He has worked to bring a sense of spirituality, compassion, and learning to the community, welcoming everyone, including LGBT people, into the congregation. He worked towards building interfaith relationships in the community.
After 10 hours, law enforcement officials declared the hostage-taker was dead while the hostages were released unharmed.
Details of the rescue operation have not been released yet.
So who is Aafia Siddiqui?
Siddiqui was born in Pakistan and came to the United States on a student visa in 1990 for higher education. She lived in the United States between 1991 and 2002. She studied at MIT and has a Ph.D. in neuroscience from Brandeis University.
She returned to Pakistan and married a relative of the 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Siddiqui was arrested in Afghanistan in 2008 in possession of documents about the manufacture of "dirty bombs" and notes about planned attacks against New York City landmarks such as the Empire State Building.

Why allow more of these people in the USA ?
Excellent point. Yeah why are these people allowed to come in and stay?
i bet her fbi handler is very upset.
Well, they are withholding any information on this guy, other than he is dead and not her brother. They know who he is for sure and not releasing the info, which means they are probably engaged in a coverup.
Has this been blamed on White Supremacists yet?
It will be.
(doesn’t matter if the hostage taker is Pakistani).
Why is there still no picture of this guy? They won’t even release his name. I just heard that he is not related to the terrorist he was trying to get released. Who is he?
The FBI is saying it wasn’t related to Jews in any way, even though it was a Synagogue, during Sabbath Services, and by an armed ‘middle eastern’ young non-Christian. They were efficient, though, as they were able to use far less folks to breach (and no amphibious operations) than it took to breach a 72 year old, unarmed Roger Stone in pajamas, at 3:00 a.m.
So spot on.
.
Aside from boycotting goods from China, I am also boycotting goods from Pakistan.
They are just as bad as China.
Can you imagine what is crawling across the southern border on a daily basis?

Most likely air lifted into the usa by TalyBiden Afghanistan express.
Geez, give them time to make up a profile for him being at 13 Trump rallies, at Jan. 6, a registered Republican all the way down to his local dog catcher vote, a prepper hoarding a silo of corn, sets his heater higher than 68 degrees and drives a gas guzzler with low inflation tires.
I’d give him is sister all right. After I ran her thru a wood chipper.
Which means it is not a Jewish congregation.
