Police have disrupted a suspected terror plot targeting Manchester's Jewish community ahead of the High Holy Days, resulting in the arrest of two men in their 30s. The suspects remain in custody in London following a proactive investigation that involved searches in Greater Manchester and the North West, prompting security reassurances for the public.

  • Metropolitan Police have revealed that the suspects were detained in a 'long-running proactive investigation' and are now being held in a London station, with further detention warrants securing their custody until September 27. Searches were also completed at properties in Liverpool and Salford, while the Community Security Trust described the timing as chilling due to its proximity to the anniversary of the Heaton Park Synagogue attack.
