The FBI is investigating the Texas synagogue hostage standoff as a terrorist incident in which the Jewish community was targeted after initially ruling out antisemitism as a motive.
“This is a terrorism-related matter, in which the Jewish community was targeted, and is being investigated by the Joint Terrorism Task Force,” the FBI reportedly told The Washington Post. FBI Special Agent in Charge Matt DeSarno initially told reporters Saturday that the suspect was “singularly focused on one issue and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community,” the Fort-Worth Star Telegram reported.
