Two men have been arrested in the UK in relation to the recent hostage attack on a Synagogue in Texas.
UK police have announced the arrest of two men in relation to the hostage attack on the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas.
Malik Faisal Akram — the UK national responsible for the attack — was shot dead after an 11-hour standoff after taking a number of hostages.
It has subsequently been revealed that Akram was previously known to UK Intelligence, but was not deemed a threat to the public after an assessment in 2020.
As part of the UK’s ongoing investigation into the incident, The Telegraph has reported that a number of arrests have been made in Britain.
“Officers from Counter-Terror Policing (CTP) North West continue to support US authorities with their investigation into the events in Texas,” the publication reports the Greater Manchester Police as saying.
“As a result of this ongoing investigation, two men have been arrested this morning in Birmingham and Manchester,” the statement continues. “They remain in custody for questioning.”
The UK paper also notes that two teenagers who were also arrested after the attack have since been released without charge.
