The Colleyville synagogue hostage crisis was a 2022 incident where a 44-year-old British Pakistani, armed with a pistol, took four people hostage in a synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, in the United States.
The incident occurred on January 15, 2022, when Malik Akram, entered the Congregation Beth Israel synagogue during a Sabbath service.[1] Hostage negotiations ensued, during which Akram demanded the release of Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani national and alleged al-Qaeda operative imprisoned in nearby Fort Worth for attempted murder and other crimes.[1] He released one hostage after six hours, and the remaining three hostages escaped eleven hours into the standoff. Tactical officers from the FBI Hostage Rescue Team subsequently entered the synagogue and fatally shot Akram.
