Mohammad Bashir, 31, was sentenced to life in prison by a UK court on Thursday for his role in planning a terror attack. Prosecutors established that Bashir acted as an associate to Jihad Al-Shamie, who carried out a fatal stabbing spree at a Manchester synagogue last October that resulted in two deaths.
The conviction follows evidence that Bashir assisted Al-Shamie in conducting hostile reconnaissance at a military base. Further investigation revealed that the two men had been captured on CCTV discussing their intentions to become martyrs. Bashir’s sentencing concludes the legal proceedings regarding his involvement in the coordinated plot.
