Texas synagogue attacker was a British Muslim tourist

The terrorist who took four people hostage at a Synagogue in Dallas, Texas has been identified by the FBI.

44-year-old terrorist Malik Faisal Akram arrived in the US about two weeks ago and bought weapons after landing. He spent the first night in a homeless shelter and then two weeks later ended up in a 11-hour standoff with Police.

All of the hostages at the Congregation Beth Israel Synagogue were eventually freed but feared for their lives throughout this horrific attack.

President Biden has called the incident an act of terror, and the United Kingdom has also condemned the attack.

The FBI is still investigating whether other people were involved in the planning, financing, etc., of this attack.

The incident that began at around 11:00AM soon alerted Police after people started evacuating. According to investigators, the terrorist was allowed inside after he claimed to be homeless.

Terrorist Akram was heard demanding the release of convicted Pakistani neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui who had attempted to murder American officers in Afghanistan, and had links to 9/11 planners and terrorist organization al-Qaeda.

President Biden somewhat confirmed the demands of the terrorist and said he had wanted the release of someone “who was arrested 15 years ago.”

As time went by, Akram became more infuriated and threatening. He was finally put down when negotiations failed. Akram did not have any explosive material as earlier suggested by witnesses, according to Police.

The FBI strangely declared that the attack was not aimed at the Jewish community – even though a Synagogue was attacked – and that work is being done to determine the motive while evidence is being collected.

The UK’s Counter-Terrorism Police is working with the FBI and the terrorist’s residence, places of interest are being investigated.
