Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleBritish Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood says the government will step up its efforts to tackle antisemitism in the country after two men were killed in a terror attack outside Heaton Park Congregation Synagogue in Manchester yesterday.
“We will redouble our efforts,” Mahmood tells Times Radio. “We will, of course, now review all of the work that we do to tackle antisemitism.”
Adrian Daulby, 53, and Melvin Cravitz, 66, were killed in the stabbing and car ramming attack outside the synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.
The attacker has been named as Jihad al-Shamie, a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent.
