Original Summary

The suspects were arrested in Manchester on 20 September Two Iranian men have appeared in court charged with terror offences over an alleged plot to target the Jewish community in Manchester with a homemade bomb. Rahman Salehi, 34, of Salford, and Salam Ahmadyan, 36, from Liverpool, were accused at Westminster Magistrates' Court of preparing to commit an act of terrorism or assisting another to commit an act of terrorism on or before 20 September. One of the buildings they are alleged to have carried out reconnaissance at is the Heaton Park synagogue which was attacked on 2 October 2025. Both men, who had arrived in the UK by small boat, were arrested in Manchester's Northern Quarter on the eve of Yom Kippur - the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. Salehi and Ahmadyan were remanded in custody until 23 October when they will appear at the Old Bailey in London. As part of the investigation, searches were carried out at addresses in Epworth Street, Liverpool, and Lancaster Road, Salford. The Metropolitan Police said the men were alleged to have obtained instructions to make a chlorine bomb, acquired liquids and other components to make an improvised explosive device and researched and carried out reconnaissance on potential targets. 'Deeply distressing' The prosecution say they carried out "hostile reconnaissance" on buildings in Manchester including the Heaton Park synagogue - where two British Jews, Melvin Kravitz and Adrian Daulby, were killed when it was attacked during last year's Yom Kippur service - and also at the city's Jewish Museum. The court heard the defendants are alleged to have been directed by another Iranian individual who is believed to be in Iran. The men, wearing grey tracksuits, stood in the dock of court five and spoke through translators only to confirm their name, date of birth and addresses. Prior to their court appearance, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said the news that two Iranian men had been charged would be "deeply distressing" to Manchester's Jewish community as the city marked the first anniversary of the Heaton Park Synagogue attack. She said "the fact both suspects arrived by small boat several years ago" was a reminder of the "importance of work to tackle illegal migration". "We will be unrelenting in our efforts to protect our Jewish communities, root out antisemitism in this country, and maintain our border security," she added.
