A pair of Iranian men have been charged with preparing for terrorist acts targeting a synagogue in Manchester. Salam Ahmadyan, 36, from Liverpool, and Rahman Salehi, 34, from Salford, were arrested on September 20 in Manchester. Both are now facing charges related to their alleged involvement in a plot to attack a Jewish community location.
Authorities identified Heaton Park Synagogue as the potential target of the alleged terrorist activity. The men were detained during a police operation and have been remanded in custody. No further details have been released regarding the nature of the alleged plot or the extent of their involvement.
The case follows heightened security measures in response to concerns about extremist activities in the region. Law enforcement agencies have previously warned of potential threats against religious sites, particularly those serving minority communities. This incident underscores ongoing efforts to monitor and prevent acts of terrorism in the UK.
