    Default When is a Bomb-Maker NOT a 'Terrorist'?

    Home bomb-maker blew fingers off

    A Northumberland man who blew off his own fingers with a home-made bomb, has been jailed for seven years.

    Farmer's son Owen Dodds, 29, described as a "sad loner" by police, hoarded right-wing paraphernalia in a bedroom of his parents' home in Elsdon.

    Newcastle Crown Court heard police feared he was part of a terrorist sleeper cell when they found a home-made pistol and other munitions.

    He lost a thumb and the tips of two fingers, when the device exploded.

    Dodds, who had previous convictions for violence and had been banned for life from possessing firearms or ammunition, was "immature, lonely, isolated, and bored" and not a terrorist, the court heard.

    Suicide bombings

    He was badly hurt when an improvised pipe bomb packed with lethal home-made high explosive and metal fragments, went off by accident in January.

    With his chest bleeding from more than 50 shrapnel wounds, Dodds staggered down the stairs and dialled 999 to ask for an air ambulance.

    Police later found bomb-making equipment including potassium nitrate fertiliser, hydrogen peroxide, sulphuric acid and a carton of hexamethylene triperoxide diamine (HMTD) - a high explosive which has been used in several suicide bombings around the world.

    Also discovered was a cache of weapons including a fully loaded home-made pistol and an ignition switch made from a clothes peg modified with plastic and drawing pins.

    For each offence of making or possession an explosive, Dodds was jailed for two years to run concurrently.

    He was jailed for five years for manufacturing the firearm, to run consecutive to the two-year-concurrent sentences, and for one year for possessing ammunition when prohibited, to run concurrently.

    And the answer is - when he has extreme "right-wing" (fascist and neonazi) views, and is a member of, or associated with, groups such as the BNP or the NF.
