A teenager who made a pipe bomb in his Nazi memorabilia-filled bedroom has
been detained after admitting downloading a terrorist manual.

Jack Coulson was found guilty in 2017 of constructing an explosive device
and given a youth rehabilitation order.

In a separate case on Monday, the 19-year-old admitted possessing a document
or record for terror purposes.

Coulson, of Mexborough, was sent to youth custody for four years and eight
months.

Prosecutors said he had downloaded The Big Book Of Mischief to his phone
between 4 and 19 January after allegedly boasting about wanting to kill a
female MP.

Leeds Crown Court heard how the 60-page manual provides information on the
chemicals needed to build weapons, as well as practical advice on
detonators, handguns and rockets.

Investigators also found Coulson had researched Timothy McVeigh, the
American terrorist who carried out the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing which led
to the deaths of 168 people.

Sentencing Coulson, Judge Marson QC said: “Time and time again you were a
given a chance in relation to the previous offence.

“Help was repeatedly given, but you continued to breach the order that was
given to you.

“You are unable to address the very real problems which you have in relation
to your right-wing views.”
