WASHINGTON - The weekend's hostage incident in a Texas synagogue has surfaced awkward questions for Pakistan.
Malik Faisal Akram, a 44-year-old British national, was killed by Federal Bureau of Investigation agents last Saturday (Jan 15) following an 11-hour stand-off with police and law enforcement officers at the Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas. The four hostages, including the rabbi, were rescued and unharmed.
