Two Men Jailed for Life Over Planned Attack on Manchester Jewish Community Two men have been sentenced to life in prison after plotting a deadly attack on the Jewish community in Manchester, which authorities described as potentially "the UK's most deadly terror attack." Plot Foiled by Undercover Operative Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52, aimed to smuggle firearms into the UK as part of an Isis-inspired plot. They were intercepted by an undercover agent who played a crucial role in stopping the attack. Greater Manchester Police confirmed the operation prevented what could have been a large-scale tragedy. Saadaoui received a minimum prison term of 37 years, while Hussein was sentenced to at least 26 years behind bars. Attack Plan Revealed in Court During sentencing, Mr Justice Wall said the plan would have caused numerous deaths and severe injuries. The men intended to fire AK-47 rifles into an unarmed crowd during a march. Court documents revealed that they planned to carry spare magazines, potentially discharging 120 bullets before reloading. The judge emphasized that the attack could have killed people of all ages, including children. Weapons Acquisition and Online Activity Saadaoui, originally from Tunisia and living in Abram, Wigan, sought to import four AK-47 rifles, two handguns, and 900 rounds of ammunition. He had made a deposit for the weapons and believed he was coordinating with a like-minded extremist named Farouk, who was actually an undercover operative. He also considered obtaining firearms independently from Sweden and Eastern Europe. In addition, Saadaoui purchased an air weapon and visited a shooting range to further his plans. Authorities discovered him after he used ten different Facebook accounts, none under his own name, to spread extremist content online. Lessons and Implications Police said this case highlights the ongoing threat of domestic terrorism and the importance of undercover operations in preventing mass casualties.

Studios Say Copyright Was Violated The Motion Picture Association represents major entertainment companies, including Netflix, Paramount Pictures, Amazon MGM Studios, Sony Pictures, Universal Studios, The Walt Disney Studios, and Warner Bros. Discovery. According to the association, Seedance 2.0 generated clips based on existing movies and television programs without authorization. Some of the AI generated content featured realistic versions of well known actors placed in fictional fight scenes or fantasy settings. Examples included imagined fights between Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, as well as scenes showing Will Smith battling a strange creature. In another case, characters from Friends appeared reimagined as animals. Studio representatives argue that this type of output relies on protected intellectual property. They say the tool copied recognizable characters, actor likenesses, and story elements without permission. ByteDance Responds to Allegations ByteDance has responded by saying it takes copyright and intellectual property rights seriously. The company explained that the disputed content was created during a limited pre launch testing phase. It also confirmed that it has already suspended the feature that allowed users to upload images of real people. This move aims to prevent misuse of celebrity likenesses and copyrighted material. The company maintains that it respects legal protections and will address any verified infringement concerns. Growing Tension Over AI and Creative Rights The clash highlights rising tension between AI developers and the entertainment industry. Generative AI tools can now produce highly realistic video content within seconds. While this technology opens new creative possibilities, it also raises serious legal and ethical questions. Studios worry that unchecked AI systems could weaken copyright protection and harm creators. Technology firms, on the other hand, argue that innovation must continue while proper safeguards evolve. As AI tools grow more advanced, regulators and courts may need to clarify how existing copyright laws apply to machine generated content.
