British police may have shot down 2 of Manchester’s synagogue attacks, one deadly, say the managers
British police said on Friday that she may have accidentally killed two victims, one of whom died, in their attempts to master an attack on a Manchester synagogue during Yom Kippour, the most holy day on the Jewish calendar.
“It is currently believed that the suspect, Jihad Al-Shamie, was not in possession of a firearm and that the only blows fired from the authorized GMP fire officer,” said Police press release (GMP).
“It therefore follows that this injury may have been suffered as a tragic and unforeseen consequence of the urgent required measures taken by my police officers to end this vicious attack,” said the Grand Manchester police chief. Steve Watson said in a statement.
Police added that one of the four people injured and who were currently receiving hospital treatment had also been shot.
Watson said the two shooting victims were close to each other behind the synagogue door, while the faithful were trying to prevent the attacker from returning to the synagogue of the Heaton Park congregation.
The police complaint dog said that he was investigating what happened.
Earlier Friday, police appointed the two men killed in the attack under the name of Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, both local residents.
Great Britain said Thursday’s attack on Yom Kippour, the Holy Alteriest Day on the Jewish calendar, as a terrorist incident. The suspect led a car to pedestrians and then stabbed a security guard.
‘Everything seems a little trembling’
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has deployed more police in synagogues.
Friday, Starmer visited the attack site and spoke with members of the Jewish community. He made no public statement, but said the day before Al-Shamia wanted to “attack the Jews because they are Jews”.
When David Lammy David Lammy spoke during a vigil outside the synagogue on Friday, he was confronted with certain members of the community.
“Our country, those of all colors, all confessions and none, stand with you,” said Lammy.
“We oppose all those who minimize or bite or obscure anti-Jewish hatred.”
Great Britain, like other European countries as well as Canada and the United States, has recorded a sharp increase in anti-Semitic incidents in the almost two years since the Gaza conflict.
Last month, Great Britain announced that it recognized a Palestinian state in the hope of reviving peace for the Palestinians and the Israelis, a decision described by Israel as a “huge reward for terrorism”.
The police said that he could not find any files that Al-Shamia, a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian origin, had previously been referred to the country’s counter-radicalization program, prevents.
In a Facebook statement, the Al-Shamia family said they were in “deep shock” and wanted to distance themselves from what they called her “heinous act”.
Friday morning, there was a strong police presence on the scene of the attack, with debris still in the street and clusters of flowers left nearby.
Dawud Taj, a 28 -year -old Manchester man, said the government should have done a better job to protect people.
“There is an atmosphere in the air,” he told Reuters while heading towards the city center, “and everything seems a bit trembling.”
Calls for protest are postponed
Meanwhile, the British government and the police urged the organizers of a pro-Palestinian demonstration scheduled for London this weekend on Friday to cancel or postpone the event.
The Minister of the Interior, Shabana Mahmood, urged the demonstrators to “step back” for a few days to give the Jewish community time to cry and treat what happened.
Lammy also urged anyone who plans to walk on weekends to “stop and take a step back”.
The police shot and killed a suspect who would have led a car to people outside a synagogue in northern England before raising themselves, killing two and seriously injuring four the Holy Day of the Jewish year.
The demonstration on Saturday was organized by defending our juries to oppose the decision of the British government in July to ban the Palestinian Palestinian group Action under anti-terrorist laws, which makes it a crime to be a member.
Metropolitan police said they wanted to deploy all the officers available to protect the communities affected by the Manchester attack, but rather had to prepare for a rally of more than 1,000 people on the Trafalgar square in London on Saturday to support the action in Palestine.
In response to the police, defend our juries said they condemned the attack on the Jewish community in Manchester. They said it was the choice of the police to arrests during the demonstrations.
“We therefore urge you to choose to prioritize the protection of the community, rather than to stop those who peacefully hold signs in opposition to the absurd and draconian prohibition of a direct domestic action group,” said our juries. Defend.
In the hours that followed the attack on Thursday, several pro-Palestinian demonstrations took place in British cities. Police clashed with demonstrators near the Prime Minister’s official residence at Downing Street, leading to 40 arrests.
