Man who rammed his vehicle into Michigan synagogue was naturalized citizen from Lebanon, DHS says

The armed man who rammed his vehicle into one of the nation’s largest Reform synagogues has been identified as 41-year-old Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, a naturalized citizen born in Lebanon, according to federal officials. Ghazali came to the U.S. in 2011 on an IR1 immigrant visa as the spouse of a U.S. citizen and was granted U.S. citizenship in 2016, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Federal investigators have called the crime an act of violence targeting the Jewish community.
