Iraqi Ahmed Hassan (pictured), 18, is accused of building a deadly explosive device, packed with 5lbs of knives, screwdrivers and nails to inflict ‘maximum carnage’ on a District Line Tube train at Parsons Green, London on September 15 last year
A teenage asylum seeker set off a bomb on the Tube after coming to Britain in the back of a lorry and telling the Home Office he was trained to kill by Islamic State, a court heard yesterday.
Iraqi Ahmed Hassan, 18, is accused of building a deadly explosive device, packed with 5lbs of knives, screwdrivers and nails for ‘maximum carnage’, at the foster home where he was given refuge.
The bomb contained 14oz of the explosive TATP, commonly known as ‘Mother of Satan’, and sent a fireball through a District Line carriage packed with rush-hour commuters – injuring 30 – at Parsons Green station in West London on September 15 last year.
The Old Bailey heard that it was a ‘matter of luck’ the bomb did not fully detonate and no-one was killed. Jurors were also told that:
- Hassan sneaked into Britain through the Channel Tunnel aged 15
- He openly declared his links to IS when he applied to the Home Office for asylum
- The teenager was allegedly seen by staff at a charity-run shelter looking at an IS video and listening to jihadi songs, yet no-one raised the alarm;
- While his foster parents were on holiday, Hassan ordered bomb ingredients on Amazon using a £20 gift voucher he won after being named ‘student of the year’;
- He loaded his bucket bomb with shrapnel, including screwdrivers and drill bits bought from Asda and Aldi.
