Police Missed Synagogue Extremist Warnings

Police Missed Synagogue Extremist Warnings

Greater Manchester Police admitted a 'missed opportunity' to prevent a deadly synagogue attack after it emerged that officers had failed to examine the perpetrator's mobile phones, which contained extremist material.

The admission came as an associate of the attacker was jailed for life for plotting a separate terror attack on a military base.

The case has raised serious questions about the police force's handling of warning signs and its ability to prevent extremist violence.

The revelations have prompted calls for a thorough review of counter-terrorism procedures in the region.
