The brother of a Lancashire man who took four people hostage at a synagogue in the US before being shot dead has demanded answers about how he was allowed to travel.
Malik Faisal Akram, 44, from Blackburn, held four hostages at the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, US, on Sunday (January 16).
All of the hostages were released without being injured, but Mr Akram was shot and killed by the FBI a short time later.
