A Moroccan asylum seeker accused of murdering a pensioner in revenge for Israeli attacks in Gaza told police he would have killed “thousands” if he had a gun, a court has heard.
Ahmed Alid, 45, is on trial for knifing Terence Carney to death in Hartlepool town centre, in October, eight days after the Hamas attacks.
He also allegedly attempted to murder one of his housemates, Javed Nouri, 31, who is a Christian convert.
