UPDATED: MANCHESTER SYNAGOGUE ATTACK DECLARED A TERRORIST INCIDENCE

Read Time:32 Second

Police believe they know the identity of the attacker, who was shot dead by armed officers.

We’ve just finished hearing from counter-terrorism policing Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor – and are due to get a separate update from Greater Manchester Police in the next few moments.

The assistant commissioner said he was “devastated” – here are the key lines:

  • Police say the attack has been declared a terrorist incident
  • Two further arrests have been made
  • Officers think they know the identity of the attacker, but they are not able to confirm it at this stage “for safety reasons”
  • He reiterated that two people had died in the incident
