(BBC) A man accused of planning a terror attack “regularly expressed a wish to kill Jews,” a jury has been told.
Jordan Richardson, 21, of Oliver Close, Howden, East Yorkshire, has been charged with engaging in conduct in preparation of an act of terrorism between 1 August and 19 December last year.
During the prosecution’s opening earlier, Leeds Crown Court was told he was arrested with a note that said: “Throw all grenades into crowd, shoot bystanders, stab anyone who comes close, do not get taken alive.”
Mr Richardson has denied the offence and told officers when he was arrested: “I’m not a threat.”
Prosecutor Katherine Robinson said another note included instructions about how to make mustard gas, while a crossbow and a knife had been found at his home.
