Overview
- At the Old Bailey on Wednesday, prosecutors said Abdullah Albadri, 34, set out to carry out a terrorist attack at Israel’s London embassy.
- The defendant allegedly climbed an 8‑foot perimeter fence on April 28, 2025, before armed diplomatic protection officers pulled him down.
- Investigators say they found two knives and papers a prosecutor described as a martyrdom note in his possession.
- Prosecutors point to phone data and his statement about wanting to “stop the war” as signs of a Gaza-linked motive to influence Israel’s government.
- Court records state he entered the UK by small boat in 2021 and again on April 12, 2025, and prosecutors say a rejected asylum claim on April 24 preceded searches for the embassy location.
