Tonåring som bombade döms till 34 års fängelse
En 18-årig asylsökande från Irak har dömts till 34 års fängelse för att ha detonerat en hemmagjord bomb under rusningstrafik i Londons tunnelbanesystem i september förra året, skriver flera medier. 30 personer skadades i attacken som kunde ha gått betydligt värre om bomben detonerat som den skulle.
18-åringen döms bland annat för att ha försökt ”döda så många brittiska medborgare som möjligt”, enligt domaren Charles Haddon-Cave.
Mannen kom till Storbritannien olagligt 2015 och uppger att han ska ha tillbringat tre månader på ett av terrorgruppen IS träningsläger.
bakgrund
Explosionen i London
Wikipedia (en)
On 15 September 2017, at around 8:20 am BST (07:20 UTC), an explosion occurred on a District line train at Parsons Green Underground station, in London, England. Thirty people were treated in hospital or an urgent care centre, mostly for burn injuries, by a botched crude 'bucket bomb' with a timer containing the TATP explosive chemical. Police arrested the main suspect, 18-year-old Iraqi refugee Ahmed Hassan in a departure area of the Port of Dover the next day, and subsequently raided several addresses including the foster home of an elderly couple in Sunbury-on-Thames where Hassan had lived. The suspect arrived in the UK illegally in October 2015. The suspect had said that he had been compelled to undergo training by ISIS with about 1,000 other young people and he had feared members of his family would be killed if he had attempted to resist.The incident is being treated by the Metropolitan Police as a terrorist attack and reported by the Press Association as being linked by investigators to Islamic extremism.
