'Islamic State supporter’ accused of plotting mustard gas terror attack. Telegraph, December 23, 2024.
An alleged Islamic State supporter allegedly plotted a terror attack using mustard gas, a court heard.
Jordan Richardson, of Howden, near Goole, East Yorkshire, was at Westminster magistrates’ court on Monday accused of engaging in conduct in preparation of an act of terrorism.
He was arrested on Dec 19 after he allegedly made Instagram posts expressing his support for the terrorist group.
When arrested, he was found with a document that purported to set out an attack plan, referring to weapons and killing bystanders, the court was told.
He also had a handwritten recipe for sulphur mustard, a toxic “blister agent”, it is claimed.
David Cawthorne, for the prosecution, told the court that the recipe had been assessed as viable by experts and was the kind of gas that could be put in a grenade.
He alleged that Mr Richardson’s internet searches indicated he was a “recent convert to Islam”.
The court heard that police had found a crossbow and a knife when conducting a search of Mr Richardson’s home.
Searches of digital devices showed he had expressed a desire to kill or harm infidels and members of the Jewish population, it is alleged. Research of potential targets included a shopping centre, the court heard….
