The 10 hour hostage situation at a synagogue in the Dallas-Fort Worth area came to an end late yesterday, with all the hostages safe and the suspect dead.<\/p>\n

The suspect claimed to have several bombs, and took the rabbi and three others hostage at the Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville.<\/p>\n

A Dallas FBI Special Agent confirmed the suspect was dead in a “shooting incident,” but did not provide specifics.<\/p>\n

He was demanding the release of convicted terrorist Aafia Siddiqui, whom he called “sister.”<\/p>\n

Who Is Aafia Siddiqui, Pakistani Scientist Whose Release Was Demanded By US Hostage-taker?<\/h3>\n

A man who held hostages inside a Texas synagogue on Saturday has demanded the release of a Pakistani scientist who is imprisoned in the US on charges of an attempt to kill American service members in Afghanistan. The woman, Aafia Siddiqui, is serving an 86-year prison sentence after being convicted in Manhattan in 2010 for allegedly attempting to shoot US military officers while being detained in Afghanistan two years earlier.<\/p>\n

Aafia Siddiqui, also known as “Lady al-Qaida” is a Pakistani neuroscientist who studied in the United States at prestigious institutions. She attracted the attention of American law enforcement in the years after the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n

Top FBI and Justice Department described her as an \u201cal-Qaida operative and facilitator\u201d at a May 2004 news conference in which they warned of that al-Qaida had planned an attack in the coming months.<\/p>\n

In 2008, Siddiqui was detained by authorities in Afghanistan. American officials said they found in her possession handwritten notes that discussed the construction of \u201cdirty bombs\u201d and listed various locations in the US that could be targeted in a \u201cmass casualty attack.\u201d<\/p>\n

During interrogation with the Afghan police, authorities say, she grabbed the M-4 rifle of one of a US Army officer and opened fire on members of the US team assigned to interrogate her. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
