A police investigation has revealed that Emad Al Swealmeen, 32, who detonated a homemade bomb outside Liverpool Women’s Hospital, harboured a grievance against the British state due to the rejection of his asylum claim. The incident, which occurred just before 11 am on November 14, 2021, resulted in Al Swealmeen’s death but miraculously allowed the taxi driver, David Perry, to escape.
The explosive device, constructed by Al Swealmeen, was detonated while he was inside a taxi parked outside the hospital. Hospital CCTV footage captured the terrifying moment as the blast propelled ball bearings through the vehicle, causing significant damage. The front windscreen was forced out and traveled 16 meters, hitting a tree, and the hospital building’s windows were damaged.
