Northern ReporterAn asylum seeker who murdered a pensioner in the street in what he said was “revenge” forMoroccan national Ahmed Alid, 45, will serve a minimum of 44 years before he can be considered for release.
Alid shouted “Allahu Akbar” – “God is great” – during the attack at the Home Office-approved asylum seekers’ accommodation in Wharton Terrace, as Mr Nouri, 31, fought for his life, the court heard. Jurors saw footage of armed police arresting Alid, who still had his bloodstained knife in his waistband, in a nearby street.In a holding cell at Middlesbrough police station, Alid launched into a speech in Arabic saying that “Allah willing, Gaza would return to be an Arab country” and how he would have continued his “raid” if his hands had not been injured.
The 45-year-old was born in Fez, Morocco, but was raised in Algeria, where his grandfather had a business. He tried to marry a German woman but had lost his passport in Greece, he told the court, so the marriage could not go through. Javed Nouri, the man he tried to murder, told police later: “He was sitting on the kitchen chair and checking the news on his mobile phone.He added: “I was very upset from that night and I have seen something terrible and frightening in his eyes.”
Alid admitted Mr Carney was “innocent”, justifying the attack by saying that Britain had created the “Zionist entity” of Israel and should make them leave, adding: “They killed children and I killed an old man.”
