A rabbi who was among four Jewish congregants taken captive at a synagogue in the US state of Texas during the weekend has said that he and others escaped after he threw a chair at the hostage-taker and then rushed for an exit door.Authorities identified the hostage-taker as a 44-year-old British national, Malik Faisal Akram, who was killed Saturday night after the last hostages ran out of Congregation Beth Israel near Fort Worth, Texas, about 9pm local time (03:00 GMT on Sunday).It was unclear if Akram died by suicide or was killed by members of an FBI hostage rescue team.
