Mohammad Bashir

Mohammad Bashir, 31, has been sentenced to life in prison in the UK for plotting a terror attack alongside Jihad Al-Shamie. Al-Shamie carried out a deadly stabbing spree at a Manchester synagogue in October, killing two people before being shot dead by police. While Bashir was not directly involved in the synagogue attack, an investigation into that crime uncovered evidence of his and Al-Shamie's separate plan to target a British military academy. Bashir pleaded guilty to his role in the terror plot. The case highlights a significant security concern and has led to admissions by Greater Manchester police of a missed opportunity to examine crucial data from the synagogue attacker's seized devices, which might have revealed the planned attack.
