Jury finds Iraqi teen guilty of planting London subway bomb

An Iraqi teenager who told police he had been trained by the Islamic State group was convicted of attempted murder on Friday for planting a home-made bomb on a London subway train.

 

Ahmed Hassan, 18, showed no emotion as he was found guilty at London's Central Criminal Court.

 

The home-made bomb partially exploded at Parsons Green station on Sept. 15, 2017, injuring 30 people. Prosecutors said there would have been many more injuries and probably deaths if the device had operated properly.

 

Prosecutor Alison Morgan told jurors it was just "a matter of luck" that the bomb didn't fully detonate.
