There has been a lot of speculation about who the hostage taker is in Colleyville Texas. The person claims to be the brother of Aafia Siddiqui. However, her brother (Muhammad Siddiqui) attorney is claiming that it is NOT Muhammad who is inside the Congregation Beth Israel Temple. We will have to wait longer for an end to this hostage sitution and the find out who the hostage taker really is.
The lawyer of Muhammad Siddiqui – brother of Aafia – told numerous news agencies that Muhammad is not the man currently holding hostages in the Colleyville, Texas synagogue.

FURTHER UPDATE: While the terrorist claimed to be Aafia Siddiqui’s “brother”, Muhammad Siddiqui’s attorney says he is NOT involved in the hostage situation. The FBI and police have not released the suspect’s name.

The gunman is not Muhammad Siddiqui, this is all a mistake based on him referring to Aafia as "sister".

The lawyer for Muhammad Siddiqui says it's not him inside the synagogue, which is why it's so important to take care in early reporting. Somebody talking about "sister" in a metaphorical, religious sense isn't the same as being actual family.
