Two men, Walid Saadaoui and Amar Hussein, have been found guilty in a plot to carry out a gun attack targeting the Jewish community in Manchester. They planned the attack with a third man, 'Farouk', who was an undercover operative. The plot was thwarted by law enforcement, and Saadaoui, Hussein, and Saadaoui's brother, Bilel, were all arrested. The men had planned to obtain weapons, identify a gathering of Jewish people to attack, and were prepared to kill any police officers who intervened.
