(BBC) A man who set fire to two elderly worshippers after they left mosques has been convicted of attempted murder.
Mohammed Abbkr, 29, sprayed petrol on and set alight Hashi Odowa, 82, and Mohammed Rayaz, 70, during attacks in London and Birmingham.
He told Mr Odowa, “I swear in the name of Allah, in the name of God, you will know me,” Birmingham Crown Court heard.
Abbkr was found guilty by majority verdict over the attacks in Ealing and Edgbaston, in February and March.
The recorder of Birmingham, Judge Melbourne Inman KC, told the court he wanted to hear further psychiatric evidence before considering a proposal to sentence Abbkr, of Gillott Road, Edgbaston, to a hospital order.
