"after two people died and three others were injured in a car ramming and stabbing attack at a Manchester synagogue. The incident on Thursday morning came on Yom Kippur - the holiest day in the Jewish religious calendar. Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, said: "I've been in contact with the Mayor of Manchester, Andy Burnham, the home secretary and the police.""
"Sir Sadiq said: "At this time of year when Jewish people across the world are commemorating Yom Kippur it's incredibly worrying that we've seen this awful attack on a synagogue in Manchester. "I want to reassure them that London will be seeing additional police officers. People should be allowed to go about and practice their faith knowing that they're going to be safe. "Unfortunately too many Jewish Londoners, Jewish people across the country, Jewish people across the globe, don't feel that way. And that's heartbreaking.""
