A year on from the terrorist attack on Liverpool Women's Hospital detectives still do not understand the motive of suicide bomber Emad Al Swealmeen.
The 32-year-old pizza chef stunned the city when a device packed with ball-bearings strapped to his chest detonated in a taxi outside the Toxteth maternity hospital, at around 11am on Remembrance Sunday. It is believed the bomb exploded prematurely, possibly because it was jolted as the taxi came to a stop outside the main entrance.
The driver of the taxi, Kirkdale dad David Perry, somehow survived the initial blast and was able to hurl himself from the vehicle moments before it - and Al Swealmeen's body - were incinerated by flames.
