Man Charged For Plotting Attack on Yas Marina Circuit
The UAE Supreme Court has charged a man with seven terror-related offences that included plotting attacks on the Yas Marina circuit, IKEA, and a US military base in Abu Dhabi. The National, a government-owned daily published in Abu Dhabi, reported that he was also accused of planning to assassinate a UAE leader.

It is reported the suspect attempted to join ISIS a.k.a. ISIL, helped advance the cause of Al Qaeda and ISIS online, and also gave money to an Al Qaeda member despite the knowledge that it would be used to back terrorist activities. Furthermore, the court heard that the accused accessed terrorists' websites along with other restricted sites to learn how to make bombs.

Married to a woman who was executed in July, 2015 for the murder of a US teacher, the man denied all charges levied against him in court.

The Yas Marina Circuit has hosted the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix every year since it was added to the Formula One calendar in 2009. The 5.55Km-long circuit was designed by Hermann Tilke and is one of the rare venues in the F1 calendar that runs in an anti-clockwise direction.
