-

LONDON, Oct ‌12 (Reuters) - Britain's interior ​minister Shabana Mahmood on Monday announced ⁠a public inquiry into the deaths of two Jewish men ​who died during an attack ‌at a synagogue in Manchester in October 2025.

Adrian Daulby and Melvin ⁠Cravitz were killed ⁠during the attack at the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue during Yom Kippur, the ‌holiest day in the Jewish ⁠calendar.

Jihad Al-Shamie, a ‌35-year-old British citizen ​of Syrian descent, told police he was acting for Islamic ‌State before officers ​shot him ⁠dead.

Mahmood told lawmakers that a ‌public inquiry "will ⁠ensure that all evidence can be heard, including any sensitive ​national security ‌material that could not otherwise be ⁠fully heard".
