A man who allegedly had a connection to the Manchester Synagogue attacker has been charged with multiple terror offences.
Mohammed Asim Bashir, 31, of Cheetham Hill, North Manchester, has been charged with one count of preparation for acts of terrorism and three counts of dissemination of terrorism publications.
These charges are reportedly not directly related to the attack in October of this year, which saw two Jewish men killed at a Yom Kippur service at Heaton Park Synagogue. Rather, they relate to allegations that he drove Manchester attacker Jihad Al-Shamie to a defence facility on 14th August 2025, with the intent of hostile reconnaissance at the unnamed location.
He is also due to be prosecuted for allegedly sharing material over WhatsApp with the intent to encourage acts of terrorism.
Mr Bashir will appear in court this Friday, 5th December.
