Texas synagogue attack: Pakistan link to hostage taker being investigated

A British Muslim man who was shot at gunpoint after taking worshipers hostage at a Texas synagogue complains about wanting to be killed in the 9/11 attacks.

Accused Malik Faisal Akram, 44, of Blackburn, Lancashire, was labeled a “threat” for expressing his desire to be on one of the planes that destroyed the World Trade Center in 2001.

Meanwhile, Akram’s links with Pakistan are also being probed, as he has been a frequent visitor to Pakistan.
