Emad Al Swealmeen (pictured), 32, started building a bomb factory at a rented bedsit as early as April, according to police
The Liverpool Women’s Hospital bomber lied about converting to Christianity and was a practising Muslim, an inquest has heard.
Iraqi-born Emad Al Swealmeen, 32, died from an explosion and subsequent fire when his device detonated in the Ford Focus Delta Taxi as it pulled up outside the hospital shortly before 11am on November 14.

The driver, David Perry, managed to escape the blast – which was captured on hospital CCTV.

Al Swealmeen had falsely claimed to be of Syrian heritage in asylum applications and was still a practising Muslim despite apparently converting to Christianity, an inquest at Liverpool and Wirral Coroner’s Court was told on Thursday.

Asked if he may have converted to strengthen his asylum claim, Detective Chief Inspector Andrew Meeks from Counter Terrorism Policing North West said: ‘I’d agree with that because he would claim he’d be liable to persecution on return to Syria or Iraq.’

The inquest heard a Holy Koran and prayer mat were found when police searched his premises.
Senior coroner Andre Rebello said Al Swealmeen’s brother, who lives in America and was not named in court, said he had spoken to him on Friday, November 12, two days before the bomb went off…………….

‘Clearly, from what he said to the family, he had something in mind and yet this was hidden from everybody.’
Mr Rebello added: ‘It was fairly evident that he carried out the religious duties of someone who is a follower of Islam, not withstanding the reported conversion to Christianity.’

The bombing came shortly before 11am on Remembrance Sunday, not far from a nearby church service attended by hundreds of people at Liverpool Cathedral.
Detective Chief Inspector Andrew Meeks confirmed Al Swealmeen was not on the radar of security services.

Mr Rebello said: ‘It just shows how everyone needs to be very vigilant about anything of this nature with regard to nipping anything in the bud.’
The coroner said police still did not know what Al Swealmeen’s intention had been.

Recording his conclusion the coroner told the inquest: ‘On November 14 2021 Emad Jamil Salman Al Swealmeen died in a taxi in front of Liverpool Women’s Hospital.

In an aerial view, the scene of the car explosion at Liverpool Women’s Hospital is seen on November 17, 2021
‘He died from an explosion and subsequent fire caused by an improvised explosive device which he had carried into the taxi.
‘It is found he manufactured the improvised explosive device, designed to project shrapnel, with murderous intent.’
He added: ‘It remains unclear as to whether he intended the device to detonate when it did.’
The inquest heard Emad Al Swealmeen came to the country legally in May 2014 with a Jordanian passport and UK visa.
Senior coroner Andre Rebello said: ‘Shortly after his arrival he claimed, it is believed falsely, that he was of Syrian heritage and claimed asylum as a refugee from that country.’
He said that claim and all subsequent claims for asylum were refused, with the latest refusal in November 2020.
