FBI Changes Its Tune on Texas Synagogue Hostage Situation

The FBI has changed its tune on the hostage situation at a Texas synagogue over the weekend.

As Rebecca covered, the FBI initially claimed the suspect wasn’t specifically targeting the Jewish community.

But as she reported, “Not only did the man take a rabbi and others hostage during shabbat services, but he demanded the release of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui, who is suspected of having ties to al-Qaeda and was convicted of trying to kill U.S. military officers while in custody in Afghanistan.”
