Mohammad Bashir, 31, has been sentenced to life imprisonment for planning a terrorist attack alongside Jihad Al-Shamie, who carried out a deadly stabbing at a Manchester synagogue in October. Al-Shamie was killed by police after the attack, which resulted in two fatalities. Bashir admitted to preparing terrorist acts and was involved in scouting the UK’s Defence Academy in Swindon with Al-Shamie in August. Prosecutors stated there was no evidence linking Bashir to the synagogue attack itself, but emphasized that his plans against the Defence Academy were advanced and could have caused significant harm had they been executed. The court described the plan as a viable attack similar to the one at the synagogue.
