British police have disrupted a suspected terror plot in Manchester just before Yom Kippur, arresting two men in their 30s under terrorism legislation. The timing coincides closely with the anniversary of the Heaton Park synagogue attack, prompting the Community Security Trust to describe the incident as 'utterly chilling'.
Metro.co.uk reports that the two suspects, both men in their 30s, were detained under the Terrorism Act 2000 in Newton Street, while Deputy Assistant Commissioner Vicki Evans acknowledged the timing would cause significant concern for the Jewish community during the High Holy Days.
