a 32-year-old father of two
Contemporaneous reporting identified Hussam Dwayat as 30, not 32.
Full reasoning
Multiple contemporaneous reports from 2008–2009 identify Hussam Dwayat as 30 years old.
- The Guardian reported on July 3, 2008: “The attacker, Hussam Dwayat, 30 ...”
- The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported on July 2, 2008: “Husam Duwayat, a 30-year-old father of two ...”
- An Associated Press report from April 7, 2009 likewise referred to “30-year-old Hussam Dwayat.”
Because these contemporaneous sources consistently give his age as 30, the article’s statement that he was 32 is incorrect.
