Police have stepped up patrols in Jewish communities following an alleged gun attack plot in the north west of England. Three men appeared in court on Tuesday charged with terrorism offences over an alleged plan designed to cause "multiple fatalities using automatic weapons". Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police (GMP) Stephen Watson said the force was taking proactive approaches to protecting the community from threats. "I know that our Jewish communities are reassured by what it is that Greater Manchester Police are doing to keep them and their families safe," he said.

"We have stepped up our levels of engagement, our proactive approaches to protecting our Jewish community from threats. "Some of that manifested in the three charges, but we are also working with things like the Community Safety Trust." On Tuesday, Walid Saadaoui, 36, and Amar Hussein, 50, appeared in court charged with the preparation of terrorist acts between 13 December 2023 and 9 May 2024. The pair were accused of plotting an attack designed to cause "multiple fatalities using automatic weapons", the hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court was told. Mr Saadaoui's 35-year-old brother Bilel, pleaded not guilty to failing to disclose information about the alleged plans.
Re: GMP step up patrols to reassure Jewish communities
I read about that "plot" and I'm waiting for when the presence of an "undercover infiltrator" is revealed because it has all the making of a Terror Factory style plot. I've seen no mention of it yet, but I would be massively surprised if it doesn't come out nearer trial time....no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.
