Islamist terror suspects ‘plotted mass shooting of Jews’

Two alleged Islamic State-inspired terrorists plotted to massacre Jews in the North West, a court has heard.

Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52, planned to “kill as many members of the Jewish community as they could” with assault rifles similar to those used in the 2015 Paris terror attacks, Preston Crown Court was told.

Jurors were told the pair hoped to become “martyrs” after causing “untold harm” by planning “mass fatalities”.
