(BBC) A man who set alight two elderly men as they left mosques used petrol contained in a water bottle to carry out the attacks, a court heard.
Mohammed Abbkr, 29, is on trial over injuries to Hashi Odowa, 82, near an Islamic centre in Ealing, and Mohammed Rayaz, 70, in Birmingham.
The jury heard he told the first: “I swear in the name of Allah, in the name of God, you will know me.”
He denies two counts of attempted murder.
Mr Abbkr, of Edgbaston, Birmingham, has also denied two alternative counts of maliciously administering a destructive object to endanger life.
