The 26-year-old accused of murdering British MP David Ames A "fanatical Islamist"
A "fanatical Islamist", inspired by Islamic State, was today found guilty of the murder of British MP David Ames, who was stabbed to death in a church attack while talking to constituents.
Ali Harbi Ali, 26, a British citizen and the son of a former media adviser to a former Somali prime minister, stabbed Ames to death in an attack last October in what he said was revenge for the MP's support for air strikes in Syria.
Prosecutors said he was a "committed, fanatical, radicalized Islamist terrorist." The defendant was found guilty of murder and preparation of a terrorist act.
