An asylum seeker from Morocco who went on a vicious rampage following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack that triggered the Israel-Hamas war has been convicted of murder for stabbing a 70-year-old man in the streets of an English seaside town. Ahmed Alid was convicted Thursday in Teesside Crown Court of stabbing Terence Carney six times on Oct. 15 in Hartlepool. He was also convicted of attempted murder for hacking at his housemate and for assaulting two police officers. Alid told police he carried out the violence “for the people of Gaza.” A prosecutor says Alid swore he would have killed more people if he had a machine gun.
