A “middle eastern” man got into a taxi carrying a bomb and asked it to take him to the Liverpool Women’s Hospital.
The cab driver locked him in the taxi and he blew up, destroying the cab, but without killing anyone else.
Four other men have been arrested, as is commonplace in Europe after terrorist attacks.
Why would a Muslim terrorist have targeted the Liverpool Women’s Hospital?
The area around it has plenty of Muslims living there, and Muslims work at the hospital there and are there as patients. The hospital has an Islamic prayer space and a successful attack would have likely killed Muslims.
However, one ongoing issue that devout Muslims have is with male doctors treating female patients. It’s possible that it was precisely the fact that Muslim women were being treated at the hospital that motivated the terrorist to engage in his attack.
