- 

British police have declared that a deadly rampage at a synagogue that killed two people on the holiest day of the Jewish year was a terrorist attack.

Assistant Metropolitan Police Commissioner Laurence Taylor in Manchester said the assailant was killed by officers and two other suspects were arrested. He provided no further information.

Authorities said the suspect rammed his car into pedestrians and began stabbing people. Three other people were seriously wounded.

It took police some time to confirm he was dead because of concerns he had an explosive on him.
