British Jews are under threat, according to the police chief who helped foil an Islamic State-inspired massacre.
Walid Saadaoui, from Wigan, and Amar Hussein, from Bolton, planned to replicate the 2015 Paris terror attacks by targeting a Jewish community in the North West.
They bought assault rifles, handguns and hundreds of rounds of ammunition in preparation for a suicide gun attack in which they wanted to “kill as many members of the Jewish community as they could” and hoped to become “martyrs” in revenge for Israel’s actions in Gaza.
