Yom Kippur Terror Plot Foiled In The UK
Two Iranian nationals have been arrested in the United Kingdom on suspicion of plotting an attack against the Jewish community in Manchester during Yom Kippur. British police said Rahman Salahi, 35, and Salameh Ahmadian, 36, allegedly attempted to obtain components and equipment for an improvised explosive device and a chlorine bomb.
They are also suspected of conducting surveillance of potential targets ahead of a planned attack during the Jewish holiday. According to police, the two suspects were also in ongoing contact with individuals in Iran who allegedly directed and assisted them in planning the attack.
The suspects were due to appear before a court in London on Saturday as authorities sought to extend their detention. The UK Home Office said one of the men had been granted legal status as an asylum seeker, while the second had submitted an asylum application that remains pending.
