London, October 2 (Xinhua) — The attack near the Heaton Park Synagogue on Middleton Road in Crumpsall, a suburb of Manchester, UK, has been declared a terrorist attack. Law enforcement confirmed the incident on Thursday afternoon.

At a briefing for reporters, Assistant Commissioner of Police (Counter Terrorism) Lawrence Taylor said three people, including the suspect shot by police, had been killed and three others were in a serious condition.

As L. Taylor indicated, police believe they know the identity of the attacker, but cannot confirm it at this stage due to security concerns at the scene. The assistant commissioner also reported that two arrests have been made.

He emphasized that law enforcement agencies are increasing patrols of synagogues and other Jewish sites across the country as additional security measures. Counterterrorism officers, working with security forces, are working to clarify the circumstances of the case in the coming days and weeks.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in a statement earlier that "extra police have been deployed to synagogues across the country."

According to law enforcement, law enforcement officers were called at 9:31 a.m. local time after a witness reported a car driving toward pedestrians and a man being stabbed. Officers fired their firearms at 9:38 a.m., fatally shooting the suspect.

Tbilisi, October 2 (Xinhua) — Georgian Railways is launching a new block train route, Batumi-Poti-Tbilisi-Absheron-Sumgait-Alat, which will connect Black Sea ports with Azerbaijan's largest cargo terminals. This was announced on Thursday by Georgian Railways (GR).

Representatives of the Georgian and Azerbaijani railway authorities signed an agreement to launch the new service in Almaty. The parties agreed to provide cargo owners with a simplified logistics service based on the "terminal-to-door" principle.

Block trains will operate according to a pre-arranged schedule, ensuring the timely delivery of containers. The new service is expected to significantly reduce road congestion and reduce the negative environmental impact by shifting container shipments from road to rail.

"This is a simplified logistics service for cargo owners, who will receive containers from Batumi, Poti, and Tbilisi to Baku and vice versa at precisely agreed-upon times, without delays. Thanks to this service, cargo owners will save not only time but also money, as storing cargo and empty containers at terminals entails a daily fee," noted Lasha Abashidze, General Director of Georgian Railways.
