From YNet news:
“We believe the person responsible for today’s attacks is 35-year-old Jihad Al-Shamie,” Greater Manchester Police said late Thursday. “He is a British citizen of Syrian descent.” Official sources in Britain told The Guardian that the terrorist Jihad al-Shami, who carried out the attack on a synagogue in Manchester where two people were murdered, entered Britain as a child and received British citizenship in 2006.
Chava Lewin, a local resident, said, “The moment he got out of the car, he started stabbing anyone nearby. He went for the guard and tried to break into the synagogue. Someone blocked the door. Everyone was in total shock.”
Al-Shamie was shot dead by armed officers after ramming a car into pedestrians and stabbing worshippers outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation during Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

Would have been nice if the security guard could have shot al-Shamie dead.
