LONDON: A UK court on Friday jailed two men for life for planning a Daesh-inspired gun attack on a Jewish gathering in northern England. Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52, who were arrested in May 2024, intended to target an antisemitism march in Manchester before killing more Jews in the northern English city. Police thwarted their plans, hatched between December 2023 and May 2024, after they revealed them to an undercover operative posing as a like-minded extremist who could help import weapons.

The men plotted to open fire on a march against anti-semitism in what could have been ‘one of the deadliest attacks’ the UK has ever seen

Police say they were planning a killing spree which could have been "the UK's deadliest terror attack".
