Has that been confirmed? Because I still see people saying the Cathedral was the target, which at the time it happened would make more sense as veterens were there for rememberence service.

in the news conference, they confirmed the passenger a male asked to be taken to the Womens Hospital so they think that might have been the target, that said apparently it is not far from the Cathedral so maybe he was going to walk from there

No
it's to do with the Womens Hospital


We will find out in time, the reason.

that bomb seemed only designed to kill the driver and noone else?

Some Reports say only part of it went off
so there, maybe another part of his homemade bomb.


We should find out soon.

The cameras were turned off
when it was local press time.
At the Conference

[bitontheslide]

the bbc show a fuller video

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...yside-59291095

The explosion was contained within the closed car, if that was in an open area it would have caused a lot more damage

[joeysteele]

Really worrying.
Whatever the full picture is of this.

I wanna know how the taxi driver knew there was a bomb… like was it hidden in a bag or under clothes? Did he overhear anything? Do we know anything about that?

It went off while he was in it.

He ran out

I can’t even imagine how it must have felt. I know it be worried that if I was wrong about my suspicions, I’d end up in court for assuming wrong

But I know I’d also rather chance that then people potentially dying.

I know there was someone at the Ariana grande concert who was too nervous to report the bomber because he thought people would think he was being racist, but ****… look how that turned out

Times are scary now for sure.

And one of the worst things is that the genuine small minded minority are going to use this attack to be ignorant towards ppl that are innocent. Hoping there’s not an increase of hate crime like there was after 9/11 and 7/7

It’s a catch 22 because these days you have to be conscious of what’s going on around you. But at the same time you don’t want to falsely accuse anyone or ruin an innocent persons life

Jesus.

I guess he is lucky to be alive then. Poor dude. Hopefully it wasn’t too traumatic or life changing. But yeah, amazing he was able to get out and prevent anyone else from being killed

Ch4HDnews

Yeah I agree..it is a minefield

[Police investigating a terror incident outside
a hospital in Liverpool have named the
man killed in the blast as 32-year-old Emad al Swealmeen.]

Not British

[arista]

["Al Swealmeen is connected to both the Rutland Avenue
and Sutcliffe Street addresses
where searches are still ongoing.

"We believe he lived at the Sutcliffe Street
address for some time and had recently rented
the Rutland Avenue address.
"Our focus is the Rutland Avenue address
where we have continued to recover significant items.

"We continue to appeal for any information
about this incident and now that we have
released his name any information that
the public may have about al Swealmeen
no matter how small may be of great assistance to us."]

He was not known to MI5


Experts believe
the Car bomb did not go off fully.

Suicide bomber who died when his device blew up outside Liverpool hospital is Syrian "asylum seeker"
