Story summary

Two men, both in their 30s, were arrested by Metropolitan Police counter-terror officers in Manchester's Northern Quarter on Sunday, September 25, just before Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. The arrests followed raids at an address and a nearby hostel. Authorities believe these men were planning a terrorist attack targeting the city’s Jewish community. This comes one year after a deadly terror attack at Heaton Park Synagogue during Yom Kippur, where two people died. Deputy Assistant Commissioner Vicki Evans confirmed that this was a long-running investigation aimed at disrupting what police consider to be an imminent threat against Manchester's Jewish community. The suspects remain in custody and have been granted additional detention until October 4 for further questioning.
