The suspect behind the deadly terrorist attack at a north Manchester synagogue did not appear in initial searches of counter-terror records, according to police. The update comes as the Jewish community reels from this morning's attack that left two people dead and four others with serious injuries. Officers were alerted to reports of an ramming-and-knife attack at Heaton Park synagogue at about 9:31am. Investigators were concerned the suspect was wearing an explosive device around his waist, though it later emerged this was "not viable". Andy Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester slammed the terrorist attack on a synagogue as "an horrific anti-Semitic attack on our Jewish friends and neighbours."
