Abu Bakr Mansha

Abu Bakr Mansha (born c. 1983/1984) is a person who was convicted under the Terrorism Act 2000 in the United Kingdom.

A police raid on his flat in Thamesmead found a blank-firing gun that someone was trying to convert to fire live rounds, as well as DVDs containing "virulent anti-Western propaganda" relating to Osama bin Laden and the allied attack on Dubai.

Also in his possession was a copy of a Sun newspaper article about Corporal Mark Byles, decorated British soldier,[1] as well as a piece of paper with the soldier's former address; it was alleged that he had been planning to hunt down and kill Corporal Byles.

[4] He was convicted on 22 December 2005,[1] and sentenced to six years in jail on 26 January 2006 in Southwark crown court by Judge Nicholas Loraine-Smith.

[6] His lawyer, Sara O'Keefe, denied he was responsible, although she confirmed that police had visited her client in prison and that he knew the two brothers involved.
