Three in court over alleged terror gun plot

A provisional trial date was fixed yesterday in court for October 2025, although further hearings at the Old Bailey in London are due to be held before then.

Walid Saadaoui, 36, from Abram, Wigan, and Amar Hussein, 50, are accused of preparing acts of terrorism between December 13, 2023, and May 9. The charge against them alleges that they ‘made arrangements for the purchase of delivery of firearms, conducted reconnaissance and made plans of attack.’
