A 31-year-old man described in court as a "committed jihadist" has been sentenced to 17 years in prison for plotting a separate terror attack, in a case linked to the man who carried out a knife attack at a Manchester synagogue. The sentencing underlines ongoing concerns among UK authorities about networks or associations between individuals separately planning extremist violence, even where attacks are not jointly executed.

Beyond the headline sentencing details, the supplied article text does not contain further reporting on the specifics of the plot, the evidence presented, or the identity and fate of the synagogue attacker himself, as the accompanying text consists mainly of unrelated Daily Mail site navigation and headlines rather than the full story.
