Victim: Mr Timms was stabbed after warmly greeting his attacked with the words “Hello, I’m sorry for the wait.” (Daily Mail)
A smiling Muslim fanatic stabbed a British MP twice in the stomach after he voted in favor of the Iraq War.
The Daily Mail reported:
A Muslim woman tried to kill a Labour MP by stabbing him in the stomach ‘in revenge’ for him voting for the Iraq War, a court heard today.
Roshonara Choudhry, 21, is accused of knifing Stephen Timms twice in a shock attack during a constituency surgery meeting after she greeted the MP with a smile and offered him the hand of friendship.
A second later the fanatic allegedly lunged forward, repeatedly plunging a three inch kitchen knife into his stomach, sending the MP ‘reeling and staggering’ backwards, before staff jumped in to wrestle the blade from her grasp.
The Old Bailey heard how the young Muslim woman had plotted for weeks to kill her local MP, buying two knives in case one ‘broke’ when she enacted her ‘punishment’ for him voting in Parliament to invade Iraq in March 2003.
After the attack, she coolly told police: ”I just pushed it (the knife) in like how it is if you punch someone.
‘I was trying to kill him because he wanted to invade Iraq.
‘I was not going to stop (stabbing him) until someone made me.
‘I wanted to kill him. I was hoping to get revenge for the people in Iraq.’
