UK Man Sentenced to Life for Plotting Military Base Terror Attack
Mohammad Asim Bashir, a 31-year-old UK-born dual Pakistani national, was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum of 16 years and 135 days for plotting a mass-casualty terrorist attack on a military base.

The case followed a large investigation linked to Jihad Al-Shamie's separate synagogue attack in Manchester, with Bashir identified as a close associate involved in earlier preparations.
