Tom Little, led by Brian Altman QC, prosecuted Operation Exactness at the Old Bailey. Two young men, Tarik Hassane and Suhaib Majeed, in their early twenties have been convicted of both conspiracy to murder and acts in preparation of terrorism. The Islamic State inspired plot involved committing drive by shootings on a moped in London with the use of a firearm and silencer. The intended target were police officers or soldiers or even civilians. In addition two other men, linked to Hassane and Majeed from their local mosque, were convicted of various firearms offences.
