Attack on a Jewish synagogue
Six individuals were arrested on suspicion of involvement in, preparation for, or incitement to acts of terrorism following a deadly attack near a Manchester synagogue during Yom Kippur, one of the holiest days in the Jewish calendar.
The attack occurred on October 2.
Who was arrested
Of the six arrested, four men aged 30 and 32, and two women aged 46 and 61 will remain in custody for the next five days.
The other two, an 18-year-old woman and a 43-year-old man, are also being held as police continue gathering evidence.
Police stated they are still working to establish the full picture of the incident.
Earlier reports said an unidentified attacker assaulted people near the synagogue, killing two and seriously injuring three others.
Ukraine later strongly condemned the attack on the Jewish synagogue in Manchester on the sacred day of Yom Kippur.
