A Moroccan asylum seeker, Ahmed Alid, has been convicted of murdering a pensioner in England in a rampage motivated by the conflict in Gaza. Alid stabbed the victim six times in the chest after a chance meeting on the street, eight days after Hamas terrorists launched an offensive against Israel. He also attacked his housemate and two police officers, shouting “Allahu Akbar”. The 45-year-old will be sentenced on May 17.
