Great Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham promised that “the hurt has been heard” following a terrorist attack at a synagogue that killed two people on Thursday (2 October).
Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, rammed his car into pedestrians at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue in Crumpsall on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, before attacking them with a knife and trying to force his way inside. He was fatally shot by police on scene.
