Terrorist Imad al-Swailmin was known to his friends and acquaintances in England as Enzo Almeni. According to security agencies, he renounced Islam and converted to Christianity in 2017. But it was a trick for him. This is because his application to become a refugee was cancelled in 2014. By changing his name and religion, he finally took refuge in England in 2017. But what his intention was, perhaps, is clear from dying as a suicide bomber. He was also married to Marion Hichcott, a Christian girl in England. 'Shocked by the explosion, we are all very sad, we loved him,' Marion told the press after the attack.
