The man who carried out the Manchester synagogue attack made a 999 call where he pledged allegiance to the so-called Islamic State group.
Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, was shot dead by police outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue after he drove his car into a crowd of people before stabbing others in an incident which saw two Jewish men killed.
The call was made after Al-Shamie’s car hit a wall after he drove into worshippers, a spokesperson for Counter Terrorism Police North West confirmed.
Melvin Cravitz, 66, and 53-year-old Adrian Daulby died in the attack on Middleton Road around 09:30 BST on 2 October.
