Two men who swore allegiance to Islamic State have been found guilty of plotting to “kill as many Jewish people as they could”, in what detectives believe would have been the UK’s worst terror attack if it had not been thwarted.
Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52, were found guilty at Preston crown court on Tuesday of preparing acts of terrorism between 13 December 2023 and 9 May 2024.
Jurors were told they were Islamist extremists with a “visceral dislike” of Jewish people. They planned a marauding attack in Greater Manchester, at the heart of one of Europe’s largest Jewish communities, having answered an Islamic State “call to arms” issued after the outbreak of war in Gaza.
Saadaoui arranged for the purchase and delivery of semi-automatic rifles, conducted reconnaissance and identified targets, but the man supplying them with the weapons was an undercover operative.
The operative, known to them as Farouk, had infiltrated jihadist social media networks and convinced Saadaoui that he was a fellow extremist.
Saadaoui, a former Italian restaurant owner, was arrested in a police sting as he attempted to take possession of two assault rifles, a semi-automatic pistol and almost 200 rounds of ammunition at the car park of the Last Drop hotel in Bolton on 8 May 2024.
The weapons were of the type used in Paris on 13 November 2015, when 130 people were killed and hundreds injured in a series of terrorist attacks.
A third defendant, Walid’s brother Bilel Saadaoui, 36, who worked in a discount shop, was found guilty of failing to disclose information about acts of terrorism on the same dates.

"We need to crack down even harder on white supremacist and far-right hate speech."
Good thing they were caught in time. If they had succeeded it might have led to anti-Islamic sentiments.
No motive could be found.
So have they been executed yet? No? Why not?
Meh, it’s like biology.
It’s easy to kill a lot of something. But killing ALL of something is almost impossible. And the survivors tend to be a lot tougher and meaner.
Those islamics need to think about that...
Because the Euroweenies are idiots.
You’ll find your answer on You Tube.
Europe and the UK are done. Finished. Fini. Kaput.
Trump is right to pivot to Asia. Europe is a lost cause.
Don’t these terrorist scum have any hobbies besides killing or being killed? How about signing them up to a woodshop club were they could build tables instead of bombs.
If only there was something in common with all these terrorists.
