Manchester Synagogue Terror Attack: Who is Jihad Al-Shamie? Man Behind Fatal Attack on 2 Jewish Men
The assailant who drove a car into people outside a synagogue in England’s Manchester on Thursday and stabbed two people to death was identified as a British citizen of Syrian descent named Jihad Al-Shamie.
Officers shot and killed the suspect at the synagogue in Manchester, though authorities took some time to confirm he was dead because he was wearing a vest that made it appear as if he had explosives. Police later said he did not have a bomb.
Police were called to the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue, in Crumpsall, a suburb in the north of Manchester, shortly after 9:30 a.m. by a member of the public. They were on the scene within minutes and the incident was contained swiftly. Police praised the “quick response” of the witness as well as the “bravery” of security personnel and those inside the synagogue for helping to prevent the suspect from entering the synagogue.
Greater Manchester Police said the two people who died were Jewish and authorities were working to formally identify them.
Three people were hospitalized in serious condition, officials said. One person sustained a stab wound, while a second was struck by the car driven by the attacker. A third person arrived at a hospital with an injury that may have been sustained as officers stopped the attacker. The injuries and condition of a fourth person taken to the hospital were not available.
Police said the suspect was killed after being shot by firearms officers, just seven minutes after they had been called to the incident at the synagogue. Late Thursday, police said they believed the man responsible for the attack was a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent named Jihad Al-Shamie. An initial check of records showed he was not part of a U.K. counterterror program that tries to identify people at risk for being radicalized.
