Texas synagogue siege: Teens held in UK as Briton named as
hostage-taker
Two teenagers have been arrested in England as part of the
investigation into a hostage-taking incident at a synagogue in Texas
on Saturday.
British citizen Malik Faisal Akram, 44, from Blackburn, was shot dead
after a standoff with police in Colleyville.
Details of the ages or genders of the pair arrested in south
Manchester on Sunday evening were not revealed.
...
...
According to US police sources, Akram arrived in the country via New
York's JFK International Airport two weeks ago.
...
...
Akram gained initial access to the synagogue during the service by
claiming to be a homeless man, according to a police source quoted by
CBS.
...
...
This FBI-led investigation is likely to spread across three
continents, focussing primarily on what is known about hostage-taker
Malik Faisal Akram here in the UK, as well as anyone who may have
helped him, either in the UK or the US.
His reported demand for the release of convicted Pakistani
neuroscientist Aafiya Siddiqui from a US jail has given this a further
dimension which will undoubtedly lead to contact between the FBI and
the authorities in Pakistan.
