"OPINION - In 2017 an Islamic suicide bomber detonated at a pop concert in Manchester, killing 22 people and injuring over a thousand others. Now another terrorist has struck the same city, this time targeting a on the most solemn of Jewish holy days, Yom Kippur. Two people have been murdered and others are reported to be seriously injured. Police responded quickly to the incident. They killed the terrorist, who seemed to be wearing a suicide belt, within ten minutes of the incident starting."
"Intensive police investigations have been launched. Who committed the attack? Jews have learned to fear attacks from all corners, extreme left, extreme right, extreme Islam. No details of the terrorist have been released though a photograph suggests that an Islamic male was responsible. Was anyone else involved? We gather that two arrests have been made, but how they were connected with the attack, whether there was a plot, training, funding, we do not know. It is important not to jump to conclusions before more is known. My hunch, for what it's worth, is that the attack was not well planned or coordinated and the terrorist could have been acting alone. But we'll see."
