The family of the British terrorist who was shot dead after taking four people hostage inside a Texas synagogue have tonight condemned his actions as they admitted to 'liasing' with the shooter during his 10-hour stand-off with police.

Malik Faisal Akram, 44, was shot dead by the FBI after holding four hostages for more than 10 hours at Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas on Saturday.

His 'devastated' brother Gulbar Akram shared a message on social media in which he revealed he had been working with the FBI and 'liasing' with his sibling throughout the stand-off. He also apologised and blamed 'mental health issues' for Malik's actions.

Why are there still no pictures of the suspect??

[rdl6989]

Malik Faisal Akram? Amish supremacist!

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Wonder why the writer felt necessary to put quotes around mental health issues?

“His ‘devastated’ brother Gulbar Akram shared a message on social media in which he revealed he had been working with the FBI”

WORKING WITH THE FBI

Sort of clarifies what really happened.

Good ole “mental health issues” strikes again.
Who does he think he is? Simone Biles?

“Why are there still no pictures of the suspect??”

They are having trouble photoshopping a MAGA hat on him.

[Sacajaweau]

My guess is that the dead guy was (as usual) on the FBI's radar...but can't do nothing...he's a Muzzie...

Bet they had to clear everything with Obama....before they moved in.

Of course, he was “just a lone wolf with mental issues” and not some typical terrorist trying to get his terrorist sister out of prison by force so,that she could continue her islamic jihad agaisnt the west

BUT had he been a white Conservative Trump supporting mother at a town hall meeting speakingmout agaisnt the racist CRT movement, she would be labeled a “domestic terrorist”, znd noone would be trying to claim she had mental issues nope, she woild be a “dangerous right wing extremist terrorist” according to the feckless msm.

[Bob434]

They are having trouble whitening his skin color, znd too busy hiding his social web pages to post photos of him yet

[Lurkinanloomin]

[reasonisfaith]

But look at what the FBI has made of itself.

Americans would be justified in suspecting the FBI to have planned and perpetrated the crime.

[reasonisfaith]

The FBI has made itself into an organized crime syndicate.

[ronnie raygun]

doctoring up the photo to look like a domestic white supremacist terrorist

The family of the British terrorist.... Malik Faisal Akram.

Classic British name - Malik Faisal Akram.

44-year-old from Blackburn: Gunman Malik Akram

That is the most English name I have ever heard in my life.

Might be a UK Island named after his ancestor somewhere.

“Good ole “mental health issues” strikes again.”

Seem like a rather common affliction of the islamists.

[alternatives?]

How did he obtain a gun?

[AndyJackson]

WORKING WITH THE FBI

A radical Islamic terrorist working with the FBI to root out radical right wing white privilege terrorism.

Makes perfect sense to me.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The crazy starts with marrying their first cousin or brother, generation upon generation upon generation.
