Two Iranian men are accused of identifying Heaton Park Synagogue as a potential target for a bomb plot, according to reporting from multiple UK outlets.
The Evening Standard and The Independent say Salam Ahmadyan, 36, of Liverpool, and Rahman Salehi, 34, of Salford, are arrested in Manchester on September 20. The Independent reports that a court hears details of the case, while the outlets describe the alleged conduct as part of preparations for a terrorist act. Both men are charged with engaging in conduct in preparation for a terrorist act, as stated by The Independent.
Across the sources provided, the core facts focus on the alleged target and the defendants’ identities, rather than on any claimed plot specifics or investigative conclusions. Belfast Telegraph’s headline reflects the same allegation that the synagogue was identified as the target, aligning with the other outlets.
All sources indicate the matter is currently before the courts, with the allegations set out through charges rather than any publicly reported outcome in these excerpts.
