An official in Lebanon says a man with a rifle who crashed into a large Michigan synagogue, in what federal officials are saying was an attack, had lost four family members in his native country in an Israeli airstrike last week. Officials say 41-year-old Ayman Mohamad Ghazali was killed by security after ramming a vehicle into Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township near Detroit on Thursday. The official in eastern Lebanon told The Associated Press that Ghazali’s two brothers and a niece and nephew were killed at their home in the March 5 airstrike.  Ghazali was granted U.S. citizenship in 2016.
