Investigation Underway Into Michigan Synagogue Attack

WEST BLOOMFIELD, Mich. (AP) — Investigators are working to understand the exact reason a man with a rifle crashed into a Michigan synagogue in what federal officials say was an attack carried out by a naturalized citizen born in Lebanon. Officials say 41-year-old Ayman Mohamad Ghazali was killed by security after ramming into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township near Detroit, Michigan, on Thursday. Authorities say he drove down a hallway in a vehicle that then caught fire. The FBI is leading the investigation and described the attack on one of the nation’s largest Reform synagogues as an act of violence targeting the Jewish community. DHS says Ghazali was granted U.S. citizenship in 2016.
