Bashir Pleads Guilty in Synagogue Attack Prep

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

A 31-year-old man, Mohammad Bashir, has pleaded guilty to preparing for a terror attack after driving his co-conspirator, Jihad Al-Shamie—the attacker who killed two at Manchester’s Heaton Park Synagogue—to scout the UK Defence Academy just weeks before the deadly assault. Bashir’s guilty plea, coupled with CCTV and ANPR evidence, reveals a chilling prelude to the attack, even though he didn’t carry it out. Arrested at Manchester Airport in November, Bashir previously denied the charge but now faces sentencing in July, with separate charges for online terrorist material still pending. His guilty plea marks a critical step in the investigation into the synagogue tragedy. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
