'''Ahmed Hassan '''is a radical islamist who was incarcerated in September 2017 for committing the Parsons Green train bombing. He claimed to be motivated by his father's death in the Iraq war and had been in touch with [[The Islamic State]].

== Biography ==
As previously mentioned, Hassan's father was killed in the Iraq war by [[Saddam Hussein]]'s forces, for which Hassan blamed Britain. To get revenge, Hassan trained with the terrorist group Islamic State to carry out an attack. In 2015 he came to England pretending to be under 18, having known that the government would deal leniently with immigrants under eighteen. Despite saying that he had trained with IS, Hassan was granted the right to live with a foster couple.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/mar/07/parsons-green-tube-bombing-ahmed-hassan-on-trial Parsons Green bomb trial: teenager 'trained to kill by Isis'], The Guardian</ref> In September 2017 he planted a crude "bucket bomb" on a train with intent to kill everyone on board. However the bomb did not contain enough explosive and did not go off, although some passengers did receive flash burns or were injured in the rush to escape. Hassan and six others were arrested, however Hassan was the only one brought to trial.<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-41363943 Parsons Green attack: Man in court charged with attempted murder], BBC News</ref> He was sentenced to life imprisonment with a possibility of release in thirty-four years.
