Manchester Synagogue Attack Officially Declared “Terrorist Incident”

Update (1111ET):

The vehicle-ramming and stabbing attack that killed two people and wounded three others at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue, in a suburb of Manchester, has been declared an act of terrorism by Laurence Taylor, head of Counter Terrorism Policing. 

“Based on what we know, counter terrorism policing has declared this a terrorist incident. We have also made two further arrests,” Taylor told reporters at New Scotland Yard in London. 

Taylor said the terrorist was shot dead by police. He continued, “We believe we know their identity, but for safety reasons at the scene, we are unable to confirm at this stage.” 

And why wouldn’t the police be releasing the name of the shooter?

Hmm. 

Conservative UK activist Tommy Robinson wrote on X, “Make no bones about it, the suspected Islamic terror attack on peaceful Jewish at their place of worship in Manchester is the consequence of Keir Starmer’s regime allowing hate marches to take to our streets following the October 7th massacre. After all that vile hatred, Starmer publicly give in to them. Blood on your hands!”

Greater Manchester Police declared the Crumpsall synagogue attack a “marauding terrorist attack” after a deranged man – now deceased – drove into a crowd before launching a stabbing spree. The rampage left two dead and three others seriously injured.

A Jewish man told The Times: “It is the holiest day of the year and we get this. There is no [safe] place for Jews in Britain any more. It’s over.”

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer wrote on x… 

I’m appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall.

The fact that this has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, makes it all the more horrific.

My thoughts are with the loved ones of all those affected, and my thanks go to the emergency…

“I’m appalled by the attack at a synagogue in Crumpsall,” Starmer said. 

This morning’s attack is absolutely shocking.

I’m on my way back to London to chair an emergency meeting, and additional police assets are being deployed to synagogues across the country.

The Israeli embassy told The Times that the attack was “abhorrent and deeply distressing“.

“The embassy of Israel in the United Kingdom condemn the attack carried out today on Yom Kippur at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Manchester,” the embassy continued, adding, “That such an act of violence should be perpetrated on the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, in a place of prayer and community, is abhorrent and deeply distressing.”
