Asylum Seeker Sentenced to Life for UK Terror Attack Motivated by Gaza Conflict

Ahmed Alid's actions highlight failures in Britain's asylum system and border controls.

Ahmed Alid, a Moroccan asylum seeker, killed a 70-year-old retiree and attempted to murder his housemate.
The attacks were motivated by Alid's anger over Israel's actions in Gaza.
Alid had been living in the UK for nearly four years awaiting an asylum decision.
Authorities failed to detain or deport Alid despite his previous rejections in multiple European countries.
The case underscores significant issues within the UK's handling of asylum claims and border security.
