British police believe they have identified the man who blew himself up in a taxi in front of a hospital in Liverpool yesterday. He is identified as Emad al Swealmeen (32), only further identified as an asylum-seeker from a Middle Eastern country, and one who had mental problems. (Where have we heard that before?) The above Sky News article also reports that the 4 unnamed individuals who were arrested in connection with the bombing have now been released.
Interestingly, The Times (UK) is reporting that Swealmeen is a convert from Islam to Christianity. It also states that possible targets of the bomber were a maternity ward or a cathedral.
Frankly, I am skeptical. Many asylum-seekers in Europe have claimed to be converts to Christianity, and if he were, why would he target a cathedral? Notwithstanding this report, the threat level in Britain has been raised to "severe". Do the authorities believe there is a wave of Christian suicide bombers planning to launch bomb attacks? Not likely.
It will take more time for the dust to settle given the political correctness and confusion in the British media, but to be fair, given the above, the jihad motive is still open to question.
