Parsons Green: Teenager denies terror charge

A teenager accused of a terror bomb attack that injured 30 commuters at a London tube station has denied responsibility. Ahmed Hassan Mohammed Ali, 18, has been charged with attempted murder and using the chemical compound TATP to cause an explosion that was likely to endanger life on September 15 last year. The Iraqi allegedly built and placed an improvised explosive device on a train at or around Parsons Green train station, which partially exploded. Mr Ali, of Sunbury, Surrey, appeared via video link before Mr Justice Haddon-Cave at the Old Bailey. He spoke only to enter not guilty pleas to both charges before he was remanded in custody for a two-week trial from March 5. A further hearing was also set for February 23.
