A man accused of planning a gun atrocity on a mass gathering of Jews praised the Paris terror attacks which killed 130 people and injured hundreds more as a “great event”, a jury has heard.
Walid Saadaoui, 38, is said to have “hero-worshipped” Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the terrorist who orchestrated the November 2015 gun raids across the French capital including at the Bataclan theatre, and allegedly wanted to emulate him by killing as many Jewish people as he could in the north-west of England.
