UPDATE: Police say one hostage has been released after the hours-long ordeal, and he did not require medical attention.
COLLEYVILLE, Texas—One man has been released uninjured after a man took four people hostage in a synagogue outside of Dallas on Saturday, shouting demands for the release of a convicted terrorist.
By Saturday night, Siddiqui and her family had chimed in to call on the “wicked” suspect to give himself up. Marwa Elbially, an attorney for Siddiqui, told The Daily Beast the 49-year-old inmate had one message for the hostage taker: “She would tell this individual to immediately release the hostages. She does not condone or accept anything that would lead to harm of any other human being.”“We want the hostage-taker to know that Dr. Aafia Siddiqui and her family strongly condemn this act and do not stand by you. This assailant has nothing to do with Dr.
The man also made multiple references to his own mortality, saying he believed he was going to die and he had left “six beautiful kids.” He expressed anger at England and made multiple mentions of his “sister.” It’s unclear who he was speaking to throughout the livestream.
