Doncaster: So, there’s this 20-year-old guy named Jordan Richardson who’s in some serious trouble. He’s accused of planning a terrorist attack aimed at Jewish people and others he calls “infidels.”
He showed up at the Old Bailey court via video link, and it’s not looking good for him. The charges say he was getting ready to do something really bad between August and December last year.
Apparently, he was doing all sorts of things like buying weapons, looking up how to make explosives, and even scouting out places to hit. It’s pretty alarming.
When he was arrested back in December, he had some pretty disturbing stuff on him. They found a document that supposedly laid out his attack plan, mentioning weapons and harming bystanders.
He also had a recipe for a toxic substance called sulphur mustard, which is just as scary as it sounds. Plus, they found a crossbow and a combat knife at his place.
His online activity raised red flags too. He had been posting on Instagram, showing his support for Islamic State and expressing a desire to harm Jewish people and others he disagrees with.
