Synagogue hostages seized in Texas “Russia 24”. Intelligence agencies are now trying to find out the identity of the alleged perpetrator. The incident happened in the small town of Colleyville near Dallas.
According to the American media, an unknown broke into the building right during the service. Her broadcast at that moment was carried out in social networks. On the recording, a male voice-over can be heard saying that he is going to die today. Four people are being held hostage, including a rabbi, according to ABC television.
The attacker himself is armed, he claims that he has explosive devices with him – and threatens those captured with violence if someone dares to enter the building.
According to the media, the man demands the release of his sister, convicted of terrorism, from prison. Presumably, this is Aafia Siddiqui, a neuroscientist from Pakistan. In 2010, she was sentenced to 86 years in prison in the United States for attacking American investigators in Afghanistan.
Police forces and special forces are drawn to the synagogue, they are trying to negotiate with the invader. The White House has already said it is monitoring the situation. We will return to this topic as soon as new details are known. Follow the situation on the media platform “Looking”.
