Two Iranian Men Charged Over Alleged Terror Plot Against Manchester’s Jewish Community

Two Iranian men have been charged in connection with an alleged plot to carry out a terrorist act against the Jewish community in Manchester.

British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said news of the charges would be “deeply shocking” for the city’s Jewish community.

The announcement comes as Manchester marks the first anniversary of the attack on the Heaton Park synagogue, placing the allegations against a backdrop of remembrance.

The available details do not identify the two men or specify the charges against them. The alleged plot remains an accusation, not a finding of guilt.
