Liverpool Women’s Hospital explosion: Police name suspect killed in blast

(BBC) The man who died when a homemade bomb exploded outside Liverpool Women’s Hospital has been named by police as Emad Al Swealmeen.

The 32-year-old was a passenger in a taxi when his device blew up shortly before 11:00 GMT on Remembrance Sunday.

The driver David Perry escaped before the car caught fire and has since been discharged from hospital.

Four men arrested in Liverpool under the Terrorism Act have been released from police custody without charge.

Meanwhile, the UK terror threat level has been raised to “severe.”

Officers believe Al Swealmeen lived at a house in Sutcliffe Street in the Kensington area of Liverpool, where counter-terrorism police officers carried out raids earlier.
