US President Donald Trump has named the 2015 Leytonstone tube stabbing as one of 78 “terrorist acts” he has accused Western media of deliberately ignoring.

The incident, carried out by Islamic State-obsessed schizophrenic Muhiddin Mire, was included today (February 7) on a White House list of "under-reported" attacks "executed or inspired by" Daesh.

Mire was jailed for life at the Old Bailey on July 29 last year after he was found guilty of the attempted murder of musician Lyle Zimmerman at the station on December 5, 2015.

The former minicab driver slashed Mr Zimmerman’s throat and attempted to attack four other commuters before he was tasered by police.

During the incident, Somali-born Mire was heard to call out: “this is for Syria, for my Muslim brothers”.

A video of the events, later circulated online, featured an onlooker who famously shouted: “You ain’t no Muslim, bruv" as Mire was detained by officers.

The attack was the only incident on British soil included in the report, which documented terror plots President Trump claimed: "In many cases the very, very dishonest press doesn't want to report."

During his trial last year, the jury heard Mire had been suffering from paranoid psychosis at the time of the incident and believed he was seeing demons.

The 30-year-old also had images of Fusilier Lee Rigby and British Islamic State executioner Jihadi John saved on his phone, along with material linked to the terrorist group.

Other incidents documented in the White House report included the Bastille Day lorry attack in Nice, the attack on a Berlin Christmas market and the shootings at the Bataclan theatre in Paris in 2015.

Because the list was apparently aimed at IS, one terror attack which did not feature was the killing of MP Jo Cox, who was shot and stabbed by neo-Nazi Thomas Mair as she arrived for a surgery in Birstall, West Yorkshire.

The case of Mair, who shouted "Britain first" as he fired shots at the Labour MP, was treated as a terror offence, and he was sentenced to a whole-life tariff in November.

Ms Cox's widower Brendan said: "The killing of Jo was in my view a political act, an act of terrorism."
