Manchester Terror Plot Foiled: Weapons Cache Seized in Antisemitic Attack Scheme
Three men were convicted in connection with a foiled terror plot targeting Manchester's Jewish community. Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52, planned mass casualties using smuggled assault rifles and ammunition. The scheme was disrupted when police arrested Saadaoui during an undercover weapons handover operation. Counter-terrorism officers found weapons capable of what authorities called potentially Britain's deadliest terrorist attack.
