A RACIST hit-and-run driver was jailed for life yesterday after deliberately running down a Muslim woman as “revenge” for terrorist attacks.
Paul Moore, 21, attempted to kill Zaynab Hussein in Leicester last September, also narrowly missing a 12-year-old schoolgirl.
Ms Hussein, 47, was struck once and then driven over again moments later. Mr Moore was seen laughing.
Mr Moore, who told a relative he intended to target Muslims, then drove at the 12-year-old because he wanted to “do the country a favour.”
He was found guilty of attempted murder, attempted grievous bodily harm with intent and dangerous driving.
Sentencing Mr Moore to a minimum of 20 years’ imprisonment, Mr Justice Soole said: “The courage of your victims and the compassion and courage of all those who came to the aid of Mrs Hussein in different ways … stand in stark contrast to your wickedness that morning.”
