UK Synagogue Attacker Pledged Allegiance to ISIS During Emergency Call: Police

Police say a Syrian-born attacker who rammed a car into a group of Jewish people and then stabbed several men outside a synagogue in Manchester, England, on Oct. 2, made a call to the emergency services in which he pledged allegiance to the ISIS terrorist group.

Two men, Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, died in the attack at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue, although Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said last week that one of the men “would appear to have suffered a wound consistent with a gunshot injury” and that “this injury may sadly have been sustained as a tragic and unforeseen consequence” of shots fired by armed police who had rushed to the scene and eventually shot the alleged attacker, Jihad Al-Shamie, dead.
