The 10 hour hostage situation at a synagogue in the Dallas-Fort Worth area came to an end late yesterday, with all the hostages safe and the suspect dead.

The suspect claimed to have several bombs, and took the rabbi and three others hostage at the Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville.

A Dallas FBI Special Agent confirmed the suspect was dead in a “shooting incident,” but did not provide specifics.

He was demanding the release of convicted terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, whom he called “sister.”

Who? David sends.

Who Is Aafia Siddiqui, Pakistani Scientist Whose Release Was Demanded By US Hostage-taker?

A man who held hostages inside a Texas synagogue on Saturday has demanded the release of a Pakistani scientist who is imprisoned in the US on charges of an attempt to kill American service members in Afghanistan. The woman, Aafia Siddiqui, is serving an 86-year prison sentence after being convicted in Manhattan in 2010 for allegedly attempting to shoot US military officers while being detained in Afghanistan two years earlier.

Aafia Siddiqui, also known as “Lady al-Qaida” is a Pakistani neuroscientist who studied in the United States at prestigious institutions. She attracted the attention of American law enforcement in the years after the 9/11 attacks.

Top FBI and Justice Department described her as an “al-Qaida operative and facilitator” at a May 2004 news conference in which they warned of that al-Qaida had planned an attack in the coming months.

In 2008, Siddiqui was detained by authorities in Afghanistan. American officials said they found in her possession handwritten notes that discussed the construction of “dirty bombs” and listed various locations in the US that could be targeted in a “mass casualty attack.”

During interrogation with the Afghan police, authorities say, she grabbed the M-4 rifle of one of a US Army officer and opened fire on members of the US team assigned to interrogate her.

This one ended about as well as can be expected, inshallah. Thanks, David.

A “shooting incident”? Yes, I imagine so. Hope it hurt.

Jihadi got his 72 virgins. Just sayin’.

Of course, they’re all fellow jihadis…

Anonymous,
the worst false afterlife promise in history.
If it’s not just the big black void,
it’s more likely 72 goats, 72 sheep, or chi chi / oogoo.

Probably a mix bag of sheep, goats, donkeys and a few bacha boys

Osama Bin Laden arrived at the Pearly gates and was greeted by George Washington who kicked him in the nuts followed by James Madison kicking him in the face followed by Thomas Jefferson kneeing him in the ribcage. Bin Laden said “WAIT, where are my 72 Virgins?” to which Thomas Jefferson replied, “No, you’re getting 72 Virginians!”.

RCAF-Chairborne,
Oh, Gilbert spells it Ugu.

Bing,bang, the rag-head’s dead.

The Leftist Communist AntiAmerican Media (but I repeat myself) cannot see a terrorist when he is out in plain sight, and want to gas-light us that the motives are unclear or whatevers.

Actually, it was the head Fan Belt Instructor who said the hostages being Jewish and the target being a synagogue had nothing to do with this occurrence. When these head agents speak, you can take that to the bank. It was just a coincidence the Slamonazi picked a synagogue when there were likely a dozen Christian churches within a five-mile radius.

If the Fan Belt Inspector’s lips were moving, he was lying.

A long way from shootin’ it out with Dillenger.

Ah.. Another story with a happy ending plus the good taxpayers of Texas were save from wasting a butt load of hard earned monies on him.

If the suspect could have waited until Tuesday, it would have been “workplace violence.”

Hate_me

Am I the only one who wonders why that US officer allowed her to get her hands on his weapon, or why she wasn’t DRT as soon as she did?

Fyrfighter

For sure on that.. and yeah, no way this was related to the hostages being Jewish.. the real question is, do the feebs really think we’re that stupid, or do they just know that the media will let them get away with the lie??

Also, is it just my computer, or do the comments have a new format to the section?

 “…the real question is, do the feebs really think we’re that stupid,…”
I’m sure that most of them do, and that the Feebie Academy brainwashes its students like most four-year colleges these days.

Bubblehead Ray

Looks like a new format to me. Me likey

Shocking. The Favoritism Before Integrity clams up. Nuttin’ to see here, folks. Must be absolutely crushed it wasn’t some stinky Walmart shopping deplorable.

A Proud Infidel®™

Meh, one less fleabag the taxpayers have to feed, clothe and house plus that removes the possibility of it being released too soon by some “Let ’em loose Bruce” variety of a Judge!

When Pres In Name Only Joey was asked for a response to the hostage sitch…he pivoted to guns. Yep, Poopy Pants agenda is in a coma, so lets blame scary black guns. Useless c**k sucker. No Joke. No malarkey.

The radio silence on this is deafening.

Veritas Omnia Vincit

Indeed minor single paragraph reports and very little follow up today…I wonder why.

Wasn’t a “white supremacist”, so the media isn’t going to shove that square peg into the round hole of their narrative.

rgr769

Yup, Whitmer’s AG was convinced this was a jew hating white supremacist domestic terrorist, wearing a MAGA hat, that was the perpetrator, … until irrefutable reality proved otherwise.

Word out now that the Rabbi threw a chair at the gunman that allowed the hostages to escape before the police moved in. If true that guy needs some kind of medal.
