Far-Right-Linked Teen Admits Swinging Axe at Stranger’s Neck

Alina Burns, 18, has pleaded guilty to attempted murder after attacking Mohammed Mahmoodi with an axe outside a Bristol barbershop last August. The victim narrowly avoided serious injury by dodging the blow. Burns later told police she meant to cut his neck. Officers found a scalpel and darts at her home. Investigators also uncovered ties between Burns and Patriotic Alternative, a UK far-right organisation. Extremist material seized at her address included writings praising Hitler and messages calling for violence against Jews and Muslims. Her notes and online searches revealed plans to use terror to reclaim land. Her trial is ongoing as the court assesses evidence of radicalisation and her motives for the attack.
