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.

His Brother wanted to know how he was able to travel with his Criminal Record... Easy, they only Check your Vaccination papers/Covid test documents, now.

When I flew in from Mexico last month. I’m possitive I could have smuggled 2 Kilos of Cocaine in my Carry-on. All anyone cared about was my Covid test and avoiding excess human contact.

Is the FBI spokesman saying Malik Faisal Akram is Amish?

[lgjhn23]

“..How did he obtain a gun?...” Working with the FBI.

Did you notice the DM cleverly ran side-by-side fotos of Ilhan Omar and the dead hostage-taker? They look exactly alike!

[Does so]

“Classic British name - Malik Faisal Akram”<>
Common spelling.

[American Infidel]

The Washington Post simply described the terrorist as “British” in its headline. I am sure they would have done the same if the attacker was white and Christian.(/sarc)
