He probably walked across the border. Don’t need no stinking visas.

Exactly, how did a Paki-Brit fly into the USA, access a gun(s) and ammo, identify a synagogue in Texas, and claim these hostages?

It seems the ONLY law enforcing going on currently is against conservative Americans.

If he had a cell phone on him, he sure didn’t get time to erase stuff on it.

Mossad can investigate any relatives/connections he had there, I would guess.

Mug shots of criminal looking suspects....

Oh, wait, distinguished and honored members of US Congress.
Sorry.

When one report said “the woman now in prison who has been called his sister” I thought do they mean “and his wife” like Omar’s murky and mysterious past with listings for a brother/husband during immigration from Somalia? She actually could be both.

Interesing background on the woman:
U.S. officials claim she was recruited by the Taliban and used her scientific expertise towards biological and chemical warfare.
She was sentenced to 86 years in federal prison in 2010 for trying to shoot U.S. personnel with a rifle while she was in custody in Afghanistan in 2008.

Several attempts at freeing Siddiqui have been made over the years, including failed attempts at trading her for western hostages. One such attempt resulted in the execution of kidnapped journalist James Foley by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

9/11 was 20 years ago. FBI now has declared war on the MAGA movement. So it's not too surprising that an Islamic terrorist snuck in.

Edward Snowden warned us. At first I thought he was a traitor. But after seeing what happened on January 6 and the Deep State taking on Trump, then yeah. I see his point now.
