DHS Reveals More Information on Michigan Synagogue

In addition to the assault in Virginia on Thursday that left one lifeless and two injured at the fingers of an ISIS-sympathizing gunman who the FBI says shouted “Allahu Akhbar” prior to opening fire, there was an assault in Michigan involving a rifle-wielding madman who crashed his car into a synagogue in a “targeted act of violence against Jewish community,” according to the FBI.

The attacker died on the scene – from either his vehicle catching on fire or by temple security, who immediately engaged him. The 140 kids who had been at the West Bloomfield Township synagogue youngster care heart had been unhurt, along with lecturers and employees. One security staffer was reportedly injured but is predicted to be okay. Eight first responders had been also handled.

As Fox News reported, early particulars on the attacker had been that the “vehicle used in the attack […] is registered to a naturalized U.S. citizen from Lebanon who lives in Dearborn, MI.”

That data has since been confirmed by DHS, which also offered the identify of the attacker and other particulars:

DHS confirms to @FoxNews that the Michigan synagogue attacker has been ID’d as  Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, a Lebanese national who first entered the U.S. in 2011 on an IR1 immigrant visa as the partner of a U.S. citizen. He was naturalized into a U.S. citizen in 2016 during the Obama administration.

The Detroit Free Press also reported that, per a neighbor, Ayman Mohamad Ghazali lived in Dearborn Heights and had a member of the family who was allegedly killed in an Israeli strike in Lebanon:

The division didn’t say where Ghazali lived. A neighbor told the Detroit Free Press he lived in Dearborn Heights, west of Detroit, and just lately misplaced household in an Israeli strike in Lebanon.

[…]

The neighbor said Ghazali had a brother just lately killed in Lebanon in an Israeli strike.

Meanwhile, as the wave of terrorist assaults on our homeland continues, Democrats stay dedicated to withholding funding from DHS: 

There have now been 4 jihadist assaults on the US homeland in the last two weeks & our Dept of Homeland Security stays shut down by Congressional Democrats, as a protest against imposing federal immigration law.

Just today, 46 of 47 Senate Dems voted to keep DHS closed.

Just disgusting.
