TERRORIST Jihad Al-Shamie pledged allegiance to Islamic State in a chilling 999 call during his knife rampage at a synagogue.

The 35-year-old claimed responsibility for the horror while it was still going on, as armed police were rushing to the scene.

He drove into worshippers at the Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester before attacking others with a knife.

Melvin Cravitz, 66, and Adrian Daulby, 53, died in the seven-minute attack while three others were badly hurt.
