A synagogue attack probe exposed a second intended target: A UK defense academy
Mohammad Bashir was sentenced to life in prison for planning a terror attack on the UK's Defense Academy, uncovered during the investigation into a synagogue stabbing by his associate Jihad Al-Shamie. Bashir and Al-Shamie discussed using weapons and a fake suicide vest for the attacks, though the Defense Academy plot did not materialize.
