A convicted terrorist who helped radicalise Manchester Arena bomber Salman Abedi could be freed from jail within weeks. Abdalraouf Abdallah, who was jailed for nine and a half years in 2016 for helping people going to Syria to join the Islamic State group, was a childhood friend of Abedi in south Manchester.
Abdallah, from Moss Side, moved to the UK as a child and was paralysed from the waist down while fighting in Libya in 2011. He was arrested in November 2014 and charged with assisting others in committing acts of terrorism by facilitating travel and raising money to enable others to fight in the civil war in Syria.
Parole hearings are usually held in private, but a change in the rules in 2022 means it's now possible to apply for them to open to attend. The BBC had argued an open hearing was in the public interest.
