Michigan synagogue attacker ‘lost family to Israeli attack’ – official

A Lebanon-born US citizen died after crashing his car into a Detroit-area Jewish house of worship

The Lebanese-born suspect in Thursday’s attack on a Detroit-area synagogue reportedly lost family members to an Israeli strike earlier this month, a local official has said.

The body of Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, 41, was found at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, after he allegedly rammed his car into the building. Armed guards responded by firing at the vehicle.
