The suspected gunman who took four people hostage at a synagogue and was killed was known to British intelligence and assessed to no longer be a threat at the time he travelled to the US, according to reports.
"Malik Faisal Akram, the Texas synagogue hostage-taker, was known to MI5 and was investigated in 2020," Frank Gardner, BBC Security Correspondent, said in a tweet.
"He was assessed to be no longer a risk at the time he flew to US at New Year."
