## Summary

Mohammed Alfatih, also known as Mohammed Naim, has been convicted in Birmingham of unlawful wounding, possessing two knives and criminal damage after attacking a bailiff. He was acquitted of wounding with intent. The case has drawn attention because Alfatih was under counter-terrorism monitoring and German authorities accuse him of involvement in a planned attack on Jewish sites.

Alfatih, 40, was granted UK asylum in 2015 and citizenship in 2020, according to the article. German prosecutors allege that a plot targeting synagogues and other Jewish buildings in Berlin and Vienna was planned for October 2025; they say he obtained a rifle, 13 pistols and more than 700 rounds of ammunition. He was taken into custody on 2 November and could face extradition after proceedings at Westminster Magistrates’ Court; sentencing for the Birmingham offences is due in January.
