Police declare Manchester synagogue attack 'terrorist incident'
Assistant commissioner Laurence Taylor, national head of counter-terrorism policing, says the attacker has been shot dead by the police and it believed counter-terrorism police know his idenity.
“Based on what we know, counter-terrorism police have declared this a terrorist incident,” he says at a press conference outside Scotland Yard in London.
There have been two additional arrests, he says.
Taylor says an attack on the Jewish community on Yom Kippur is “devastating” and says the police are “mobilising fast” to reassure the Jewish community across the country.
