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.

Thank God this was just a random attack. If the suspect was a known entity, here illegally, the FIB might suffer a black eye.

Unless proven otherwise, I assume the FBI put him up to this.

No, No-—this is Texas, right? It would be Cowboy Gunman Malik——from West of the Pecos. Probly shot him thru his ten gallon turban? I assume they’ll bury him with his spurs on? Facing Mucca?

Why are there still no pictures of the suspect??

I imagine the most current photos have bullet holes in him.

Why was the FBI’s SWAT team involved? I’m sure Texas has plenty of SWAT teams available in the area. Does the FBI get involved in all hostage situations? Why? What Federal law was Malik violating?

The video of the rescue looked like a regular Chinese fire drill. The ballistic entry team kept scurrying to and fro like kids playing musical chairs, but with no chairs.

The handles from the bolt cutters give him away. In addition to bolt cutters and a suppressed rifle, he's probably also carrying a stubby pump shotgun (with breaching shells), a 20# sledgehammer, a hooligan tool, and a variety of explosive charges adding up to a few pounds more.

Which is why they typically give this job to the biggest man on the team.

Probably quoting him. Brought this to mind, though.

Biden states that he “arrived” here several weeks ago. Did he get a Visa, swim or come across the southern border?

Maybe they have to switch all pictures so the genuine one won't cause people to say "Hey! That's the weird FBI agent I saw at the Academy. Kept failing our courses but some mysterious higherup kept promoting him."

Or cleaning lady: "He's the creep who bumped into me and didn't even say excuse me. He was coming out of the Director's office after hours."

The “community” never condemns its own

It’s silence is assent

All the “community” ever says is don’t retaliate don’t be “Islamophobic blah blah blah

In fact many applauded 911

The guy is a Moslem and therefore has mental issues. Islam makes sense for tyrants and conquerors but not for anyone else.

Here’s a limerick for him.

There once was a Brit surnamed Akram
Who bypassed a church and an ashram
A synagogue, though,
Was the hot place to go
For hostages, but he got shot-ram

Mental health issues . . . I guess the brother wasn’t a member of the religion of peace then.
