- Prosecutors at the Old Bailey told jurors on Wednesday that Abdullah Albadri tried to breach Israel’s London embassy while carrying two knives.
- Armed diplomatic protection officers detained him as he tried to scale an 8ft fence, and police seized two serrated blades from him.
- Prosecutors say he wanted to send a message to stop the killing of children, citing a photographed handwritten 'martyrdom' note and material from his phone.
- Albadri denies preparing a terrorist act and told police he carried the knives for personal use because he was homeless.
- He twice entered the UK by small boat and had an asylum claim refused on April 24, 2025, four days before the alleged attempt in April 2025.
