Moroccan Asylum Seeker Convicted of Murder in UK Over Gaza Revenge Attack

Ahmed Alid, motivated by the Israel-Hamas conflict, fatally stabbed a 70-year-old man and attacked his housemate in Hartlepool.

Ahmed Alid, a 45-year-old Moroccan asylum seeker, was convicted for the murder of 70-year-old Terence Carney and the attempted murder of Javed Nouri in Hartlepool, UK.
Alid claimed his violent rampage was an act of revenge for Israeli actions in Gaza, targeting his housemate over his conversion to Christianity and a passerby during an early morning walk.
The attacks occurred shortly after Alid viewed news about the Israel-Hamas war, which intensified his extremist views and led to the fatal stabbing.
Alid was also found guilty of assaulting two police detectives during his arrest and has been referred to the Independent Office for Police Conduct due to prior police contact.
Sentencing is scheduled for May 17, where the court will consider the terrorist motivations behind Alid's actions.
