Terror suspect was en route to King’s…until he missed his grades
Tarik Hassane missed his offer to study medicine
Ella BraidwoodA terror suspect arrested by armed police was on his was to King’s last summer – but narrowly missed the grades.
Tarik Hassane, 21, was one of four men arrested during armed raids in London on Tuesday.
And yesterday the uni revealed Hassane – nicknamed “the surgeon” by friends – had an offer to study medicine at King’s, but messed up his A-Levels.
Tarik Hassane ended up studying in Sudan
A spokesperson from King’s told The Tab: “Tarik Hassane applied to King’s in 2013 for a place on a Medical programme and a Pharmacy programme.
“Following our standard selection process, he was made a conditional offer for both but did not achieve the required grades for either.”
Hours before his arrest, Hassane tweeted that he had flown into the country, adding: “Oi lads… I smell war”.
The student, who eventually decided to study in Sudan, could potentially be held without charge and questioned for up to 14 days.
