Two Iranian men have appeared in court charged with terror offences over an alleged plot to target the Jewish community in Manchester with a homemade bomb.

Rahman Salehi, 34, of Salford, and Salam Ahmadyan, 36, from Liverpool, were accused at Westminster Magistrates' Court of preparing to commit an act of terrorism or assisting another to commit an act of terrorism on or before 20 September.

One of the buildings they are alleged to have carried out reconnaissance at is the Heaton Park synagogue which was attacked on 2 October 2025.

Both men, who had arrived in the UK by small boat, were arrested in Manchester's Northern Quarter on the eve of Yom Kippur - the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

Salehi and Ahmadyan were remanded in custody by District Judge Nina Tempia until 23 October, when they will appear at the Old Bailey in London.

Resist comment.  A further example of the intrinsic nature of 'peace' that muslims continually peddle.  They're fooling nobody: islam is  cruel and degenerate and has no place in the UK
