Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

It appears that a man rammed his explosives laden vehicle into Michigan synagogue.

Thankfully, the explosives did not detonate.

He was subsequently shot dead by security personnel.  He was the only fatality.

A man who rammed his vehicle into a Michigan synagogue and drove through a hallway on Thursday died during the incident, officials said.

There were no other serious casualties at the Temple Israel in West Bloomfield township, a suburb in Oakland county, and the FBI said it was treating the matter as a “targeted act of violence against the Jewish community”. It was not immediately clear how the driver died, but officials said security staff engaged the suspect and at least one fired shots.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) identified the suspect as Ayman Mohamad Ghazali, 41, on Thursday evening. A DHS spokesperson said Ghazali was born in Lebanon, entered the US in 2011 as a spouse of a US citizen and was granted citizenship in 2016.

DHS named the suspect shortly after Jennifer Runyan, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Detroit office, said in an evening press conference that it was too soon to identify him or specify a motive for the attack. Runyan told reporters the temple remained an active crime scene and the FBI would not be sharing further information about the driver “as our goal is to protect the integrity of this investigation”.

One security guard was injured by the suspect’s vehicle and taken to the hospital, and 30 officers were treated for smoke inhalation, said Michael Bouchard, the Oakland county sheriff.

Police responded to the temple, which is home to a pre-school and family center, just after noon. The temple is about 25 miles north-west of downtown Detroit.

The driver’s vehicle caught fire in the hallway, making it difficult for investigators to immediately determine how the suspect died, Bouchard said. Black smoke could be seen billowing from the large complex, local TV aerial footage showed. CNN reported that first responders found what appeared to be explosives in the suspect’s vehicle.
