A gunman has been killed after a four-year-old boy was taken hostage in a Texas synagogue. US forces fought a 10-hour nerve-wracking battle against the gunman.
The British news agency has claimed that the gunman had demanded the release of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui imprisoned in the United States.
Choice of synagogue
On Saturday, January 15, 2022, at about 10:00 am local time, ie 8:00 pm Pakistani time, the usual Sabbath worship started in this synagogue called Beth Israel. An unidentified armed man entered the synagogue. According to the cameras installed in the synagogue, they saw unusual movements and residences and they heard a person speaking incoherent sentences in a vague voice. A live stream of the Shabbat morning service on Facebook captured audio of a man talking loudly. He could be heard saying: “You get my sister on the phone” and “I am gonna die.”
Meanwhile, at the request of the accused, the hostage Jewish scholar also talked to the rabbi of a New York synagogue, while talking to him, the accused said that Aafia is innocent, she should be released. Five hours later, at 9:33 pm local time, all the hostages were released safely. Residents of the area had earlier heard loud explosions which shook the windows and doors of their houses. According to the police, the blasts were carried out by the police. It was reported that the accused was killed and he was identified as Malik Faisal Akram, a British citizen.
Aafia Siddiqui extradited to US
The tragic story behind the alleged abduction of Aafia Siddiqui from Karachi and her extradition to the US Secret Service also reveals the face of so-called Western democratic traditions, equality, and human rights activists. The gruesome story of Aafia’s involvement in terrorism begins with the transfer of $8,000 from her ex-husband’s bank account to a private Pakistani bank account. Then in 2002, her ex-husband was accused of buying night-vision binoculars, a bulletproof vest, and other items that could be used in terrorism.
New conspiracy
These are the allegations and evidence on the basis of which Aafia Siddiqui, a daughter of Pakistan with a very intelligent, extraordinary ability and an excellent academic record was included in the list of most wanted and dangerous terrorists and all this from her own husband. Divorced after moving to Pakistan with her children, she was abducted from Karachi on March 5, the next day news of her disappearance or alleged detention appeared in Pakistani newspapers. On April 3, the American TV channel NBC claimed that Aafia Siddiqui had been arrested from Pakistan, but a day later, the American authorities withdrew their claim.
The same attitude was adopted by the Pakistani authorities, first confirming the arrest and then denying it, threatening the family members to remain silent, after which Aafia went missing for 3 years. A US human rights magazine reported I revealed in a report on missing persons that the missing Aafia is possibly in US custody. After a visit to Afghanistan in Afghanistan on July 7, Ivan Ridley, a neo-Muslim British journalist, revealed that Aafia, the No. 1 female prisoner in the US prison at Bagram, was in fact missing Aafia, four days after US officials. He denied this, but then on July 7, Aafia’s brother Muhammad Siddiqui, who lives in the United States, was informed that Aafia was in our custody.
On August 4, she was formally arrested in Afghanistan. The next day, she was shot and told that she was snatching a gun from a US official. Two years later, in 2012, she was sentenced by an American judge to five years in prison, where she is still suffering from the effects of her imprisonment.
Extremely tragic, and at every turn in this story, the global contractor of freedom, democracy, and human rights is a narrative of America’s deception, oppression, war crimes, human rights abuses, and blatant violations of international law.Â
