The day's other headlines begin with a deadly attack at a British synagogue on Yom Kippur, the most solemn day in the Jewish calendar.

Police there are calling it a terrorist attack. Two people were killed and four others were seriously wounded.

The attacker, who officials say was a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent, was shot dead.

and the investigation is now being led

by counterterrorist police. As has been confirmed by CT policing, we believe that the identity
