Police across the UK are on "high alert" following Thursday’s terror attack at a Manchester synagogue. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood told Sky News the attack was "devastating" and "horrifying." Victims Melvin Cravitz, 66 (on the picture), and Adrian Daulby, 53, were killed, while three others were seriously injured. Mahmood said suspect Jihad al Shamie, a British citizen of Syrian descent, came to the UK as a small child and was naturalised in the mid-2000s. Security around Jewish communities has been increased nationwide. Mahmood also criticised pro-Palestinian protests after the attack, calling them “un-British” and urging respect for the grieving community. (PC: Melvin Cravitz, PA)
