An armed man who crashed his pickup truck into a major Detroit-area synagogue earlier in March was inspired by the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah and had sought to inflict as much damage as he could on Jewish people, the FBI said Monday.
Ayman Ghazali made a video just minutes before the attack at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, saying he wanted to "kill as many of them as I possibly can" in the large Jewish congregation, said Jennifer Runyan, head of the FBI in Detroit, who announced the new information.
