Brit terrorist who held hostages at Texas synagogue yelled ‘I’ve come to die’ in final call with brother

A BRITISH terrorist who held hostages at a synagogue yelled “I’ve come to die” in a final telephone call with his brother.

Malik Faisal Akram, 44, called Gulbar, 43, while surrounded by a Swat team and said: “I’m coming home in a body bag.”

The jihadist labelled his hostages “f*****g jews” in the 11-minute rant before saying: “Don’t cry at my funeral. I’ve been praying to Allah for two years for this. I’m bombed up.”

Police rushed the building in Colleyville, Texas, on Saturday, and shot him dead.

His four hostages were unhurt.

In the recording posted online, Gulbar pleaded with his brother to give himself up.

But the dad of six, of Blackburn, Lancs, screamed: “I’d rather live one day as a lion than 100 years as a jackal.

"I’m going toe-to-toe and they can shoot me dead.”
