The programme delivered further details on the devastating update.
GB News was paused for an update on the @ttack in Michigan which left at least one person d3ad. The incident occurred when a vehicle crashed into a Michigan synagogue in West Bloomfield Township.
The driver reportedly mounted the pavement and ploughed into the building, driving through the doors of Temple Israel synagogue and then down a hallway before it caught fire.
GB News presenter Ben Leo announced that the suspect has been named as Ayman Mohammed Ghazali, a Lebanese national who arrived in the US in 2011.
The host told viewers: “He’s a Lebanese national who first entered the US in 2011 on an RI1 immigrant visa as the spouse of a US citizen. He was naturalised into a US citizen in 2016 during the Obama Administration.”
Back in the GB News studio, presenter Bev Turner said: “It’s all too common, isn’t it? People who weren’t born here, come here wishing harm to Americans.”
The GB News guest Stephen said: “I suppose that is common. I think on the other side of the aisle they would say that all sorts of people who are homegrown get radicalised under different ideologies and cause a great amount of harm.
“I wouldn’t want to make it about that but there is no getting around the fact that the last four radical attacks that we’ve seen in just the past couple of weeks came from people from Senegal, Afghanistan, Turkey, Sierra Leone, Lebenhan.”
He added: “But there’s a huge trend here, it’s hard to look away.”
Ghazali, 41, was fatally shot by security officers.
