A 31-year-old man, Mohammad Asim Bashir, has pleaded guilty to planning a terrorist attack, admitting he drove his associate Jihad Al-Shamie to the UK Defence Academy in Shrivenham for a hostile reconnaissance mission. Prosecutors say Bashir is a committed jihadist, with WhatsApp messages and CCTV evidence showing their shared extremist plans. Al-Shamie later carried out a deadly synagogue attack in Manchester, killing two Jewish men — and was killed by police while wearing a fake suicide belt. Bashir fled to Pakistan after the attack but was arrested upon returning to Manchester. He’s not charged with the synagogue attack itself, but his role in the reconnaissance trip is central to his sentencing hearing, expected to last two days.
