US EditionMichigan synagogue assailant had connections to Hezbollah members in Lebanon: CNN
Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, who lost four family members in an Israeli airstrike, drove a truck with explosives into Temple Israel, killing himself after gunfire with security, officials said.
- On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security said Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, 41, drove a vehicle laden with explosives into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township near Detroit, where it caught fire and security neutralized him.
- Customs and Border Protection records show Ghazali was flagged in U.S. government databases for connections with known or suspected Hezbollah members, though officials say he was not listed as a member himself.
- A week earlier, Israeli airstrikes killed Ghazali's two brothers, Kassim and Ibrahim, along with Ibrahim's children Ali and Fatima in Mashghara, Lebanon on March 5 during the ongoing conflict.
