A taxi driver apparently locked a suicide bomber in his car after spotting explosives before a blast ripped through the vehicle outside a maternity hospital in Liverpool on Sunday.
The explosion, reported at 10:59am, came moments before the nation fell silent to mark Remembrance Day and killed the cab passenger and injured the driver, named locally as David Perry.
The car passenger, a man, was declared dead at the scene and is yet to be formally identified. Perry injured and was tonight being treated for burns and shrapnel injuries which police said are 'not life threatening'.
The incident took place as a remembrance service involving scores of military personnel, veterans and civic dignitaries, was happening at Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral less than a mile away.
A close friend of Perry's told MailOnline the family believe the original target was the Remembrance service: 'The passenger asked David to go to the cathedral so we believe that was the intended target. But they got stuck in heavy traffic so the passenger asked to go to the hospital instead.'
Unconfirmed reports on social media suggested Perry averted disaster by locking his passenger inside. Stephen Thomas said online: 'The taxi driver is my mate, and he spotted the passenger acting suspicious. He's in hospital, luckily he escaped just before but he did suffer some injuries.'

Yet ,they are Still flooding in.
Anyone asking questions is called racist.
We are a soft touch and for that reason alone worth crossing the Channel after trepsing across most of Europe.
We accept people,then they blow us up. Fact. |
By the same token anyone questioning the clot shot is called anti vax/conspiracy Theorist. But of course that doesn't suit your narrative so should be immediately condemned nd the person doing the questioning demonised.
You are a massive hypocrite | |

One for insurance people would this gent's taxi be covered now for his loss
Perhaps the cars manufacturers could give him a new model as a nice gesture |
Under most policies NO as it is generally an exclusion would need to check your PDS to be sure. That said there is such thing as Terrorism Liability, i'm sure he won't have to worry about loss of income. | |

Jim.
I was assuming you were,hence my reply.It is doubtful as not 100% of what this chap was aiming for but the Hospital was his destination and the bomb was triggered prematurely.
Considerable substances found that constitute a device and have been subject of a controlled explosion in Sefton Park. | |
