Texas synagogue hostage suspect timeline: Malik Faisal Akram's criminal record and when he entered US
Fox News
U.S. and U.K. authorities have been slow to confirm details on the timeline of when British suspect Malik Faisal Akram, accused of taking Jewish worshippers hostage at a Texas synagogue, entered the country undetected.
Reports indicate Akram had been staying at homeless shelters in the Dallas area the day before after coming into the U.S. at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Akram’s criminal background, which reportedly dates back at least two decades and includes a recent prison stint following a 2012 conviction on theft and harassment charges, has critics wondering how the man from Blackburn, England, didn’t trip any security safeguards when entering the U.S.
Here's a look into the timeline leading up to the terror incident in Texas.
