A man who aided the Manchester synagogue attacker in planning a terror strike on a UK military base has received a life sentence with a minimum term of 17 years. Mohammad Bashir, 31, was found guilty of preparing an act of terrorism after driving Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, on a reconnaissance mission to the UK Defence Academy in Shrivenham, Swindon, on 14 August 2025. The court heard that Bashir, described as a “long-standing, committed jihadist,” played a pivotal role in the planning of the attack, which would have targeted a facility housing thousands of personnel. The sentencing took place at Manchester Crown Court, where Bashir pleaded guilty to the charges. The court was told that Bashir and Al-Shamie had traveled together to the MoD base, where they conducted surveillance for a potential attack. They later discarded their mobile phones, believing they had evaded detection. However, police recovered messages and voice notes exchanged between the pair after seizing Al-Shamie’s devices during separate arrests in early 2025. These included discussions about violent jihad and planning attacks, indicating a shared extremist ideology. The court also heard CCTV footage of the two men at the Al-Sunnah Mosque in Cheetham Hill, where they mistakenly believed their conversations would not be recorded. Al-Shamie, a Syrian-born UK citizen, carried out the Manchester synagogue attack on 2 October 2025, killing two worshippers during Yom Kippur services. He was shot dead by police outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation. While prosecutors stated there was no direct evidence linking Bashir to the synagogue attack, they emphasized the similarity in nature between the two plots. Both incidents would have resulted in multiple fatalities, with the MoD base attack potentially affecting a large number of people due to its high occupancy levels. During the sentencing, Judge Mrs Justice Cheema-Grubb rejected Bashir’s claims that he had renounced his extremist beliefs. She emphasized that he remained a danger and had shown no genuine change in his views. Despite being jailed, Bashir appeared calm and even smiled at his family in the courtroom. His arrest came after he returned to the UK from Pakistan, where he had been living since the planned MoD attack. Police chief Sir Stephen Watson expressed regret over a missed opportunity to analyze Al-Shamie’s devices earlier, acknowledging that the information could have led to further investigations. An internal review by Greater Manchester Police confirmed that the data on Al-Shamie’s phones would have indicated his extremist mindset. This revelation has sparked calls for accountability and prompted ongoing reviews by the Independent Office for Police Conduct and the coroner overseeing the inquests into the victims' deaths. The case highlights concerns about the handling of digital evidence and the challenges faced by law enforcement in monitoring individuals with extremist tendencies. Authorities continue to investigate whether additional measures could have prevented the attacks, emphasizing the importance of timely intelligence gathering and analysis. The sentencing of Bashir marks a significant step in addressing the threat posed by individuals associated with such plots, though questions remain about how effectively similar threats can be mitigated in the future.

Prijatelj napadača u Mančesteru osuđen na doživotni zatvorČovjek po imenu Mohammad Bashir, 31, osuđen je na doživotni zatvor zbog planiranja terorističkog napada na britansku akademiju obrane u Shrivenhamu zajedno s Jihad Al-Shamiejem, koji je kasnije napao sinagogu u Manchesteru. Bashir, opisan kao "predani džihadist", pomogao je Al-Shamieju u obavljanju izviđanja za planirani napad na vojnu bazu. Al-Shamie, državljanin Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva rođen u Siriji, ubio je policija tijekom napada na sinagogu na Jom Kippur, gdje su poginule dvije osobe. Bashir je priznao krivicu za pripremu terorističkih djela, iako su tužitelji izjavili da nije imao izravnu ulogu u sinagogi. Sud je primijetio da je Bashir ostao prijetnja i da nije pokazao nikakvu stvarnu promjenu u svojim ekstremističkim stavovima. Nakon napada, policija je otkrila komunikaciju između Bashira i Al-Shamieja putem uređaja zaplijenog od Al-Shamieja, koji je uhićen zbog nepovezanih prijesaka.

Pomoćnik napadača u Mančesteru planirao je teroristički napad na Ministarstvo obrane.Prema sudskom postupku, čovjek po imenu Mohammad Bashir, opisan kao "dugogodišnji, predani džihadist", povezan je s potencijalnim terorističkim napadom na britansku obrambenu bazu. Bashir je navodno vozio Jihad Al-Shamie, koji je kasnije napao sinagogu u Manchesteru, u izviđačkoj misiji na UK Defence Academy u Shrivenhamu.
