Texas synagogue terrorist was banned from a UK court after 9/11 rant

The British terrorist shot and killed after a 10-hour siege in a Texas synagogue had been banned from a British court for ranting about the 9/11 attacks.

Malik Faisal Akram from Blackburn, told an usher at his local magistrates court that he wished the court official had died on one of the planes that flew into the Twin Towers.

The 44-year-old was subsequently banned from the court for threatening and abusing staff. A senior court clerk later described him as a “menace”.

Reports at the time in September 2001 said that Akram had caused regular trouble in the court “even when he isn’t due before the bench”.
