Manchester synagogue terrorist made me watch ISIS videos and planned to join Islamist group, ex-partner claims

On October 4, the woman told the Manchester Evening News she recognised her former partner, Jihad Al-Shamie, as the attacker in Thursday's Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue assault that killed two men and injured four.
After meeting on Muzmatch, the woman said she was an 18-year-old college student groomed into a controlling four-month on-off relationship with Jihad Al-Shamie, later leaving the country fearing reprisals on her family in Greater Manchester.
Al-Shamie forced her to watch extremist material, pressured her to cover herself and marry, hit and stalked her, and messaged young girls on Muzmatch using fake accounts like 'Valentino' and 'Ahmed'.
Greater Manchester Police have arrested four individuals in custody, including a 30-year-old man and 61-year-old woman, with warrants allowing detention for up to five days as investigations continue.
Since Thursday, Faraj Al-Shamie said `The news from Manchester regarding the terrorist attack targeting a Jewish synagogue has been a profound shock to us`, and reports indicate the 35-year-old was on bail after a recent rape arrest.
