Liverpool Women's Hospital 'will never be the same' after terror attack

"The deeper scars" of a terror attack that rocked the city remain at Liverpool Women's Hospital.

It's almost a year since Emad Al Swealmeen pulled up in a Delta taxi outside the maternity hospital's entrance and set off a bomb at 10.59am on Remembrance Sunday. Al Swealmeen died when his homemade explosive containing 1,000 ball bearings went off in the back of the car and shattered the windscreen.

The taxi driver, David Perry, made a miraculous escape from the vehicle seconds before the explosion on November 14 last year. The UK terror threat level was raised to "severe" after the bomb blast, while the hospital trust remained at the centre of a major incident for the following ten days.
