Manchester synagogue killer pledged allegiance to Islamic State group in emergency call | BBC News

The man who attacked worshippers at a synagogue in the English city of Manchester made an emergency call to police during the atrocity to pledge his allegiance to the Islamic State group.

Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, was shot dead by police officers outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue during his car and knife attack, in which two Jewish men died.

Melvin Cravitz, 66, and 53-year-old Adrian Daulby were killed in the attack on 2 October. The UK’s Independent Office for Police Conduct has confirmed that Mr Daulby suffered a “single but fatal” gunshot wound after armed police officers responded to the incident. A police bullet also struck another man, Yoni Finlay, who is recovering in hospital after surgery. Two other men remain in hospital after sustaining serious injuries, including one who was stabbed in the neck and chest.

Al-Shamie made the emergency 999 call to police after driving into worshippers at the synagogue and hitting a wall, before attacking people with a knife, counterterrorism police officers revealed.

Police also confirmed that a suspected explosive belt Al-Shamie was wearing around his waist was a “hoax device” that had since been assessed and “found to be non-viable”.

The King and Queen head to New York for the second part of their state visit to the US.

We look at King Charles’ address to congress, what he said… and didn’t say, and if any of it is likely to have a lasting impact on US-UK relations.

Adam is joined in the studio our diplomatic correspondent James Landale, and by Daniela Relph, senior royal correspondent who’s in New York with the King and Queen.

Plus, business editor Simon Jack tells Adam why some big players in the world of finance are worried that another financial crash might be on the horizon.
