Man who crashed pickup into Michigan synagogue was inspired by Iran-backed Hezbollah, FBI says

The FBI says a man who crashed his pickup truck into a Detroit-area synagogue earlier in March was carrying out an attack inspired by Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.

Jennifer Runyan, head of the FBI in Detroit, disclosed at a news conference Monday that Ayman Ghazali had made a video before the attack, saying he wanted to “kill as many of them as I possibly can."

Ghazali exchanged gunfire with a security guard at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield before fatally shooting himself during the March 12 attack.

First responders quickly cleared the building.

No one among the 150 children and staff was injured.
