A MAN accused of carrying out the Finsbury Park attack wanted to kill as many Muslims as possible, a court heard today.

Darren Osborne, 48, allegedly mowed down Makram Ali, 51, and nine other people on a crowded pavement with a heavy Luton box van near two mosques in north London.

The attack after 12.15am on June 19 last year was carried out while the area was busy with worshippers attending Ramadan night prayers, the jury at Woolwich Crown Court was told.
