Asylum seeker killed OAP in 'terrorist act'

MAN JAILED MINIMUM 45 YEARS FOR 'GAZA REVENGE' ATTACK

A MOROCCAN asylum seeker committed a terror attack when he murdered a pensioner in the street in "revenge" for the Israel-Hamas conflict, a judge has ruled.

Ahmed Alid, 45, has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 45 years for stabbing Terence Carney, 70, six times in Hartlepool town centre on October 15 eight days after Hamas attacked Israel.

Minutes earlier he attempted to murder his housemate, Christian convert and former bodybuilder Javed Nouri, by breaking into his bedroom and hacking at him while he slept.

Alid shouted "Allahu Akbar" - "God is great" during the attack at the Home Office-approved asylum seekers' accommodation before fleeing into the street, still armed with a knife.
