The US airman who died after setting himself on fire in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington DC was an anarchist who grew up in a religious sect, according to reports.
Aaron Bushnell, 25, shouted “Free Palestine” as he burned after dousing himself in flammable liquid on Sunday as a protest against Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.
Since Bushnell’s death, it has emerged that he grew up in a religious compound in Orleans, Massachusetts, where his parents, Dave and Danielle Bushnell, are long-time members of the Community for Jesus church.
