Liverpool bomber made device with murderous intent, coroner says

(BBC) The Liverpool bomber died from an explosion and fire caused by a device he manufactured with “murderous intent,” a coroner has ruled.

Emad Al Swealmeen was killed when his bomb went off while he was inside a taxi at Liverpool Women’s Hospital.

Senior coroner Andre Rebello said it was unclear whether he intended the device to detonate when it did.

The inquest heard Al Swealmeen rang his brother two days before he died and suggested he might do “something bad.”

Iraqi-born Al Swealmeen, 32, was a passenger in the taxi when the bomb went off at 10:59 GMT on 14 November.
