Muslim convicted of attempting to bomb Jerusalem light rail train
An attempted terrorist who was thankfully stopped before he could do any damage was convicted for his crimes:
A Hebron University student who was caught trying to board the Jerusalem light rail while carrying three pipe bombs, explosives and knives was convicted on Thursday of attempted murder, manufacturing weapons and entering Israel illegally.The savage should now be railroaded into an isolated cell, with no access to korans or anything that'll guarantee his continued barbarism-infected mind.
In its ruling, the Jerusalem District Court said that 20-year-old Ali Abu Hassan “planned to carry out a mass terror attack.”
In July 2016, Abu Hassan entered West Jerusalem through a valley outside the eastern Sur Baher neighborhood, with the intention of carrying out an attack in the capital as a form of “revenge for visits by tourists and Israeli Jews to the Temple Mount,” police said in a statement at the time.
On July 17, he took a bus to the center of the capital and walked along Jerusalem’s bustling Jaffa Road to find a target for his bombing, armed with three pipe bombs he had linked together into one large explosive and covered with nails and screws he had dipped in rat poison. In his bag police also found two knives and a cellphone.
He originally intended to attack a restaurant on Jaffa Road and scoped out the area to prepare for his assault. However, when he noticed the large number of passengers boarding the light rail that runs through downtown, he changed his target.
During his attempt to board the tram, he aroused the suspicion of a security guard and was stopped. When the guard asked to examine the contents of the bag, he noticed the bomb and called police.
The court praised the security guard for stopping Abu Hassan right before he boarded the tram, saying it was only due to his alertness that a large-scale attack was prevented. Judges also ruled that the remorse he displayed in court wasn’t genuine, since he didn’t voice it during his interrogations.
