NAZI TERROR THUG JAILED FOR 10 YEARS

A FORMER journalist guilty of plans to commit a terrorism act has been jailed for 10 years.

Alan Edward who glorified Adolf Hitler had discussed an attack on a Scots LGBT group and had expressed his desire to kill members of the transgender and Jewish communities.

The neo-Nazi amassed an "armoury" at his home in the Stirlingshire village of Redding which included a crossbow, 14 knives some with Nazi and SS insignia a Samurai sword, knuckledusters, baton and stun gun.

He also had an air pistol, an SS-style skull mask, fighting gloves, pellets and ball bearings.

Prosecutors said Edward was "a man with clear neo-Nazi ideals... preparing for an act of terrorism" which would include "an ideologically driven incident of serious violence".

He was convicted of four charges under the Terrorism Act following a trial in Stirling in September and was yesterday sentenced at the High Court in Glasgow.
