The man who blew himself up outside Liverpool Women's Hospital probably acted alone, a senior counter terrorism officer has said.
The bomber, Emad Al Swealmeen, 32, died when his homemade explosive went off in the back of a Delta Taxi on November 14 last year. The device, which was designed by Al Swealmeen at his flat in Rutland Avenue, near Sefton Park, contained around 1,000 ball bearings which shattered the car windscreen.
Dramatic footage later emerged of the explosion which led to a massive response from the emergency services. Counter Terror Police North West took the lead, raiding addresses on Rutland Avenue and Sutcliffe Street.
