A man took four people hostage in the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Texas. The hostage-taker demanded the release of Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist convicted of trying to kill U.S. Army officers in Afghanistan. An FBI’s elite Hostage Rescue Team arrived to the scene, rescued the hostages, and killed Malik Faisal Akram, the British man identified as the terrorist.
