(BBC) A man who stabbed two women at a Marks & Spencer store will be locked up indefinitely in a high-security hospital.
Munawar Hussain, 60, attacked the store manager and a customer with a knife in 2020 in Burnley, Lancashire, and also stabbed a male nurse in 2023 in hospital.
He told police he targeted the store because he believed M&S funded Israel to persecute Palestinian people.
A judge at Manchester Crown Court imposed an order which meant only the justice secretary can free Hussain.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP), where Counter Terrorism Policing North West is based, said the judge imposed restrictions under the Mental Health Act as it is “considered necessary to protect the public from serious harm.”
