    Mohammed Sajid Khan, 33, pleaded guilty to planning terrorist attacks against Manchester’s Jews at an earlier hearing, which could not be reported for legal reasons.

    Now, Mohammed’s wife Shasta Khan, 38, from Oldham, is facing the same charge of engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism and three counts of possessing information linked to al Qaeda likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.

    Little is yet known about the intended targets, although opening the prosecution, counsel Bobbie Cheema told the jury that the couple began “to make preparations to carry out a terrorist attack on British soil, with the most likely target being an Orthodox Jewish area in Prestwich. Between them they made preparations, and acquired substances bought in supermarkets and information to help them in making explosives, and began the process of assembling an improvised explosive device.”

    I’m curious to find out how they were discovered/caught.

    Does anybody else notice how many plots are foiled, and would-be terrorists disarmed, in ways that are modern-day, Purim-like, miracles?

    You know, if I saved somebody’s life and he or she, or their family, totally ignored my deed, that would be very insulting.
    So, shouldn’t that apply to thanking and praising Hashem whenever he saves our brothers and sisters?

    There is no real punishment for anything in Britain. I would be surprised if the punishment for these two is not simple deportation back to their native lands.
