A British Army bomb disposal team is at the scene of a terror attack in Manchester.

Earlier today, a man drove a vehicle into people outside a synagogue. Reports say the attacker, who was shot dead by police marksmen, then assaulted those struck by the car with a bladed weapon.

The incident required the deployment of bomb disposal experts. The Army has confirmed that personnel from 11 EOD and Search Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps, are in attendance.

At the time of this report, two victims and the suspected attacker had died.

11 EOD, as it is known, responds to around 2,500 emergency call-outs each year.
