These chilling images show inside the home where the Parsons Green bomber built an explosive device that partially detonated on a busy commuter Tube train.

Ahmed Hassan, 18, plotted to cause “carnage” in the capital with the bomb that was packed with nails using a “Mother of Satan” explosive.

After the teenager was jailed for life today, police released shocking images of Hassan’s house where he built the device that would later leave dozens injured.

The images had been shown to the jury as evidence during the teenage asylum seekers trial at the Old Bailey before being made public by Scotland Yard upon its conclusion.
