Ahmed Hassan, did not properly engage with the mandatory de-radicalisation program that was a requirement of his asylum in the UK because he did not agree to it.

His former mentor, Kayte Cable, announced today that Hassan’s lack of consent for the scheme meant he was not properly engaged with it.

Last year the the Iraqi was convicted of injuring 51 London commuters last year with a homemade bomb.

Jailed for a minimum of 34 years

The 18-year-old man who left a home-made bomb on a London tube at Parsons Green, intending to kill those on board, was jailed on Friday 23 March, and has been jailed for a minimum of 34 years.

Hassan was sentenced by the judge in line with section 30 of the Terrorism Act 2008.

The bombing took place on  Friday, 15 September 2017 on an eastbound District Line Tube at Parsons Green Station. The bomb only partly detonated.

Twenty-three people were injured as a direct result of the explosion, suffering serious burn injuries. A further 28 people were injured in the resulting stampede as passengers exited the tube and station in panic.

Hassan was arrested at the Port of Dover on Saturday 16th of September last year and was charged six days later.

The police maintain that the Iraqi asylum seeker was co-operating with the classes at the time of the attack.
