London confirms that the hostage-taker in the Texas synagogue incident was British

The UK government confirmed that the person who took a number of hostages inside a synagogue in the US state of Texas was a British citizen.
“Sky News” quoted a spokesman for the British Foreign Office as saying that the government “is aware of the death of a British citizen in Texas and is in contact with the local authorities in this regard.”

And media reports had previously said that the perpetrator of the hostage-taking operation, who was later killed, spoke with a British accent, and this was documented in a live broadcast from the synagogue in Colleville.

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Special Agent Matt Desarno confirmed that investigations into the case are continuing and that the office is cooperating with the London Police in this regard, according to the newspaper “Daily Mail”.

And the person, whose identity was announced by the US authorities, whose identity has not been revealed after yesterday, was held in the synagogue, four hostages, including a rabbi, and one of them was later freed, and he was killed during the storming of the building by a special forces team.

The hostage taker called on the US authorities to release the Pakistani scientist Aafia Siddiqui, who was sentenced to 86 years in prison in the United States in 2010 on charges of collusion with Al-Qaeda and attempting to kill an American soldier in Afghanistan.
