Libyan Admits to Stabbing 3 Men in Britain
2020-11-13
[LIBYAREVIEW] On Wednesday, a Libyan man pleaded guilty to murder for stabbing three of his friends to death with a knife as they sat in an English city park.The 26-year-old, Khairi Saadallah,
... who’d been released early from prison just two weeks before running amok, complete with a diagnoses of post-traumatic stress disorder and paranoid schizophrenia — for which he refused to take medication. He’d arrived in England as a tourist in 2012, then was given asylum because he liked to drink and party; at some point he even converted to Christianity long enough to get a related tattoo, but clearly he never mastered the turn the other cheek bit. MI-5 took an interest last year when it looked like he planned to go a-jihading abroad, but they concluded he was not serious. It was only after the murders that it was revealed that Mr. Saadallah was the proud owner of a GNA militia identity card...
admitted to three murders and three attempted murders for the June 20 attack west of London.
It was Reading, actually, but geography on other continents is hard.
The three British men were enjoying a warm Saturday evening in a park when they were stabbed. Each died from a single stab wound. Three other men were maimed.

Police declared the stabbings a terrorist attack. Prosecutors said Saadallah has stabbed all six victims within two minutes.

The Judge said during a hearing at the London Criminal Court that Saadallah maintained he was not motivated by an ideological cause and had not done substantial planning for the attack. The judge has set a sentencing hearing for December 7.

Haha but Reading is commuter belt for London as the Trains go fast to paddington etc.There are some green spots, but you need to go north of Reading to get into Oxfordshire before it gets nice and proper Englandy.
