Terror attack suspect is British national born in Somalia
Counter Terrorism Police are investigating a suspected targeted attack after two Jewish men were stabbed and a 45-year-old man was arrested.
- On Wednesday, a 45-year-old British national, Essa Suleiman, was arrested after stabbing Shloime Rand, 34, and Moshe Shine, 76, in Golders Green; counter-terrorism police have formally declared the incident a terrorist attack.
- Metropolitan Police confirmed Suleiman has a history of "serious violence and mental health issues"; he was referred to Prevent in 2020 but the case closed that year, and detectives linked him to a separate knife altercation in Southwark on Wednesday morning.
- Rand, treated for chest wounds, described his survival as a "miracle," while expressing fear the Jewish community faces ongoing attacks. At least 150 protesters gathered, chanting against the government's response to recent antisemitic violence.
- Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced £25 million in additional security funding for Jewish communities, raising this year's total commitment to £58 million, while pledging fast-tracked legislation against malign state-sponsored groups.
- Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is reviewing proscription powers for state-linked organizations, with new legislation expected in the May 13 parliamentary agenda, as investigators examine the suspect's electronic devices and potential extremist connections.
