British police arrested two men on suspicion of terrorism offenses, as part of an investigation that thwarted an alleged immediate threat against the Jewish community in Manchester. The raids were conducted in Manchester, Salford, and Liverpool, and the investigation is expected to expand to additional areas. Deputy Assistant Commissioner Vicki Evans, the senior national coordinator for counter-terrorism policing, said this was a proactive investigation that led to the foiling of a plot to harm the Jewish community. The UK national terrorism threat level is defined as 'severe'. The incident occurs about a year after the attack on the synagogue in Manchester in October 2025.
