London:
A man who set a fire last year as two men were leaving a mosque in Britain has been sentenced to indefinite hospital detention, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said on Wednesday.
Mohammed Abbkr was found guilty of trying to murder two elderly people as they walked home, one at a mosque in London in February and the other in Birmingham, central England, in March .
The CPS said there was no evidence Abbkr, 29, was motivated by a specific ideology and the incidents were not considered a terrorist attack.
Arboukeer was given a hospital order at Birmingham Crown Court, which means he cannot be released without the approval of UK government ministers. He will need treatment for what the sentencing judge called “serious mental illness.”
Nick Price, head of the CPS’s special crime and counter-terrorism unit, said: “This was a horrific act of violence against two elderly members of the public.”
Price said: “Mohammed Arbuckle’s actions caused serious injury and trauma to the victim and caused considerable shock and concern to the London and Birmingham communities.”
