A coroner ruled Thursday that a man who died in was killed by a bomb he created to others.

The inquest found that died when the taxi he was travelling in as a passenger exploded and caught fire outside Liverpool Women's Hospital in northwest England on November 14.

Iraq-born Swealmeen made the improvised explosive device with "murderous intent", said senior coroner Andre Rebello at and Wirral Coroner's Court.

The driver managed to escape the vehicle and survived the explosion, which was declared a terrorist incident by police.

It was the second attack in Britain within a month, as he met constituents in October. This prompted the government to raise the terror threat level to "severe".

Swealmeen had bought 2,000 ball bearings to pack the device and rented a flat to use as a "bomb-making factory", the inquest said.

The coroner concluded that "it is clear from the evidence... this device could only have been manufactured with murderous intent, fortunately, there was only one victim".

Counter-terrorism police have previously said that Swealmeen planned the attack for at least seven months, using "many aliases" to purchase the ingredients for

The coroner said it was unclear whether Swealmeen had deliberately detonated the device outside the hospital, minutes before events to honour British holiday Remembrance Sunday.

The blast blew out the car's windscreen and damaged hospital windows.

Swealmeen had previous convictions and had falsely claimed asylum as a in the UK after arriving legally on a Jordanian passport.
