Man who rammed his vehicle into Michigan synagogue was naturalized citizen from Lebanon, DHS says
The armed man who rammed his vehicle into one of the nation’s largest Reform synagogues Thursday has been identified as a 41-year-old naturalized citizen born in Lebanon, according to federal officials.
Ayman Mohamad Ghazali was fatally shot by security officers after driving through a hallway at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township near Detroit, Michigan, in a vehicle that then caught fire, authorities said.
Ghazali came to the U.S. in 2011 on an immediate relative visa as the spouse of a U.S. citizen and was granted U.S. citizenship in 2016, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Unfortunate we have to face local blowback for a war no one but Israel wanted in a region that has nothing to do with us.
OMG, that family had a GoFundMe
Thanks Netanyahu. We owe it all to you.
I don't agree with terrorism but damn. What a fucking idiot. If you wamt to actually hurt people, don't just drive your shitty Ford into a building and think something will happen.
They're just copying the things they see others do in their feeds.
CNN was reporting he had some kind of explosive material along with him. So maybe he expected it to go off but didn't.
Christ that’s grim.
Did he even fire a shot? I mean Michigan is pretty open carry friendly.
