Mohammed Alfatih, a German-born individual linked to Hamas, has been convicted in the UK for a knife attack on a bailiff. The incident occurred in Birmingham while he was under surveillance by counter-terrorism officials. Alfatih was found guilty of unlawful wounding and possession of knives but was acquitted of wounding with intent.

Alfatih, who received UK asylum in 2015 and citizenship in 2020, is also wanted in Germany for an alleged plot to attack Israeli targets. He is expected to face extradition after serving his sentence in the UK.
