Suspect in London van attack on Muslims 'ticking time bomb'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}British prosecutors have described the suspect in the June attack near London's Finsbury Park Mosque as a "ticking time bomb" who became convinced that all Muslims were extremists or rapists in pedophile gangs after watching a television show on child exploitation in north-central England.
The allegations came during the trial Monday of 48-year-old Darren Osborne, who is accused of driving his van into a crowd of worshippers attending Ramadan prayers. One person died and nine others were injured in the attack.
Prosecutor Jonathan Rees says a handwritten note was found in the cab of the van within hours of the June 19 attack, complaining of terrorists and the exploitation scandal in Rotherham.
