After an 11-hour standoff, Rabbi&nbsp;Charlie Cytron-Walker <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/nation\/2022\/01\/18\/security-training-texas-synagogue-hostage\/\">seized an opportunity<\/a> to throw a chair at Akram and enable their escape, and an end to the harrowing ordeal.<\/p>\n<p>Akram reportedly demanded the release of Pakistani Aafia Siddiqui, who has been in prison in Fort Worth, Texas, for more than 10 years for attempted murder of U.S. troops and FBI officials during an interrogation. Her release has been an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/01\/15\/opinions\/aafia-saddiqui-terrorism-icon-bergen\/index.html\">ongoing demand from Islamic terrorists<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>After the incident, the FBI special agent in charge of the Dallas field office, Mattthew J. DeSarno, said, \u201cWe do believe from our engagement with this subject that he was singularly focused on one issue, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He later <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/01\/19\/fbis-explanation-for-attack-on-texas-synagogue-reeks-of-agency-politicization\/\">added<\/a>, \u201cI\u2019m not ready to add any more about the demands set, except that they were specifically focused on one issue that was not specifically threatening to the Jewish community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This explanation flew in the face of what Akram had told the hostages, according to one of them, Jeffrey Cohen. Cohen told the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/nation\/2022\/01\/18\/security-training-texas-synagogue-hostage\/\"><i>Washington Post<\/i><\/a>&nbsp;that he had bought into the antisemitic trope that \u201cJews control the banks, Jews control the media, and Jews control the government,\u201d and&nbsp;Akram told them that he believed if he took Jewish people hostage, the U.S. government would release Siddiqui.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow Breitbart News\u2019s Kristina Wong on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/kristina_wong\">Twitter<\/a>&nbsp;or on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kristinawongreporting\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Rep.
