US EditionMan Kills 2, Wounds 4 in Car Ramming and Stabbing at U.K. Synagogue
Two Jewish worshippers were killed and four seriously injured in a terrorist attack with antisemitic motives during Yom Kippur, police said two other suspects were arrested.
- On Thursday, two people were killed and four wounded outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall, Manchester, as police declared the incident a terrorist attack.
- As worshippers marked Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism, antisemitic incidents in the U.K. rose after Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023 attack, with more than 1,500 reported in the year's first half, CST said.
- Authorities say the assailant drove a car into security guards and congregants, then began stabbing people while wearing a vest resembling an explosive, prompting a bomb‑disposal unit response; officers shot the suspect and arrested two others.
- Prime Minister Keir Starmer chaired an emergency COBRA meeting, ordered extra synagogue security, and wrote, `My thoughts are with the loved ones of all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency services and all the first responders.`
- Given Manchester's past including the 2017 bombing that killed 22, the Community Security Trust works with police while Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham urges calm for the city's more than 28,000 Jewish residents.
