Failed Asylum Seeker Convicted for Terror Plot

0:00On May 1st, a 34-year-old failed asylum-seeker named Abdullah Al-Badri just got convicted at London's Old Bailey for plating a knife attack. On the Israeli Embassy in West London, prosecutors said he wanted revenge for kids killed in Gaza. Last May, he jumped in eight-foot fence armed with two four-inch knives but got tackled by armed cops right away. He's guilty of prepping terrorist acts and carrying blades with sentencing coming later. Audrey, born and co-weight to the stateless Bedouin tribe, crossed into the UK twice by small boat, first in 2021 and again in April 20th. 25. His asylum bids failed after he claimed his treatment back home for human rights work. On April 28th last year, cameras caught him walking an hour from northwest London to the embassy spot, head covered, wearing dark shades and a red white scarf. He showed up just before 6 pm, saluted the building, then vaulted the fence, officers grabbed him quick, pinning him down amid a struggle.

In court, Abadri denied any terror plans, saying the knives were for personal use since he was homeless.
