Two worshippers were killed in an attack on the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Manchester on 2 October 2025. A 35-year-old Syrian-born British citizen drove a car into the synagogue gates and then attacked people with a knife while wearing a fake suicide belt. Three other men were treated in hospital for serious injuries and have since been released. On 20 August 2026 Counter Terrorism Policing North West charged a 49-year-old Iraqi national, of Higher Broughton in Salford, with failing to disclose information regarding terrorist activity under section 38B of the Terrorism Act 2000. He was remanded in custody to appear before Westminster Magistrates' Court. The assistant chief constable with operational responsibility for Counter Terrorism Policing North West confirmed that the charge is directly related to the attack on the synagogue and described it as a significant development in the investigation.
