The Dhaka Times Desk ‘মুসলমানদের হত্যা করতে চেয়েছি’ – এমন জবানবন্দি দিয়েছেন লন্ডনে মসজিদের কাছে মানুষের ওপর ভ্যান চালিয়ে দেওয়ার অভিযোগে অভিযুক্ত ড্যারেন অসবোর্ন।

Darren Osborne, accused of driving a van into people near a London mosque during Tarawi during Ramadan last year, said in a statement that he wanted to 'kill as many Muslims' as possible.

He is accused of driving a van into worshipers near a mosque in the Finsbury Park area of north London last year. One person named Makram Ali was killed and 9 other Muslims were injured.

According to BBC Bangla news, Darren Osborne has been charged with murder and attempted murder. However, he denied these allegations.

Standing in the courtroom, Osborne said he was outraged by the rise in terrorism. So he wanted to attack Muslims.

The plaintiff complained to the court that on June 19 Mr. Osborne drove a van from Luton to London and carried out the attack at 12 midnight. The place was full of worshipers at that time for Taraweeh prayers. Police also recovered a note from his van. It is mentioned in the news media that various abuses have been made against Muslims in that letter.
