Racist driver gets life for bid to kill Muslim woman

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.
