They are treating it as a targeted attack , I believed it is yom kipper today - so perhaps done to disrupt things. They haven't revealed who has carried out the attack yet but wouldn't be surprised if it was linked to what is going on in Gaza.

Three people have died, one of them the attacker. Two others are in critical condition. He didn’t make it into the synagogue as someone noticed him and alerted the police , they were there within 7mins and the people inside barricaded the doors from inside. He is believed to have bombs attached to him , so they are dealing with that at the moment. Could have been so much worse - no identification of the attacker yet.

Not being of a weak mindset as these murdering, possibly jihadist people, it boggles my mind how people can do these things to others.

Just heard from this video the killer's first name is Jihad!!! He's a British national but Syrian.

Pro-Palestinians are apparently rioting (celebrating) in various parts of the UK. No riot police per this video but some arrests. @Jack

The Pro Palestinian March in London was pre planned, before the Manchester attack had taken place - it was in connection to Greta Thunberg being arrested.The mere title of the video is just endeavouring to relay something that simply is , once again, out of context and not factual. To actually place a picture of the attacker next to the pictures of the March and clash with police is just misleading, considering the two things were not connected. Also I don’t agree with what Israel is doing, nor do many Jewish people, that does not mean we support Islam. So labelling everyone on that March as being islamasist is just so wrong


I will just add that I thought it was wrong to allow that March to go ahead once news of what had happened in Manchester was released. There were clashes with the police at the March and that did carry on to the evening in London and there were some who relayed negatives towards the Jewish people.

Three others have been detained regarding the attack. Latter half of video has a panel discussing the attack.

UK Home Secretary says Jihad the killer wasn't known to security forces. With a name like Jihad, they should have checked him out. After all police go to UK citizens' doors over things they post online.

It now appears that two of The victims were shot by mistake, one of them died and the other is in hospital. The attacker did not have a gun. They are awaiting the post-mortem to confirm.

The assailant was out on bail for rape.

First part of video quotes a woman who dated him for four months. She should have reported him to the police.
