Michigan synagogue assailant had connections to Hezbollah members in Lebanon: CNN

Ayman Ghazali died by a self-inflicted gunshot after ramming explosives into Temple Israel; attack followed deaths of his family in an Israeli airstrike, FBI says.

  • 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.
