Man who crashed pickup into Michigan synagogue was inspired by Iran-backed Hezbollah, FBI says

DETROIT (AP) — A man who crashed his pickup truck into a Detroit-area synagogue earlier in March was carrying out an attack inspired by the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah and had sought to inflict as much damage as possible, the FBI said Monday.

Ayman Ghazali made a video before the attack at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, saying he wanted to “kill as many of them as I possibly can,” said Jennifer Runyan, head of the FBI in Detroit, who announced new information more than two weeks after.
