    Court: London Tube knifing was for 'Syrian brothers'

    A man slashed the throat of a London Underground passenger for his "Syrian brothers", a court heard Tuesday, according to AFP.

    The aftermath of the incident in December was captured on mobile phone
     footage, and a bystander's retort to the attacker - "You ain't no Muslim, bruv" - became famous in Britain.

    Muhiddin Mire, a 30-year-old Somali-born taxi driver, is accused of attacking 56-year-old musician Lyle Zimmerman at Leytonstone Tube station in
    east London. Zimmerman survived the attack.
