(Colleyville) 44 year old British citizen Malik Faisal Akram
decided to up sticks and travel across the pond from Blackburn in Lancashire and
take the congregation hostage at a Texas synagogue was shot dead by US security forces
after around 12 hours of standoff.
Apparently Akram demanded the release of convicted Pakistani
neuroscientist Aafia Siddiqui, who is
currently serving an 86-year prison term in the US, for terrorism.

His family (via the local mosque in the UK have issued a
statement apologising to the victims and saying he (Akram) had been suffering from "mental health
issues". But what I find most disturbing is the mosque's facebook message wants him to be rewarded for being a terrorist.
