A suspected neo-Nazi from East Yorkshire was planning a nail bomb attack and had four home-made devices, a court heard yesterday.

Shaven-headed Martyn Gilleard, 31, of Poole Street, Goole, allegedly intended to wreak carnage and scribbled down his racist intentions in notebooks.

During a raid at his home last week police found four bombs and a detonator, the City of Westmin
ster Magistrates' Court in London heard.

Gilleard was arrested in Dundee on November 4 after allegedly fleeing the scene and was detained under the Terrorism Act before being charged yesterday.

Colin Gibbs, prosecuting, told the court: "We say he has a terrorist agenda, but to a right-wing part of the spectrum."

Gilleard is alleged to have researched the making of explosives on the internet, bought ingredients and assembled four devices.

He is charged with preparing an act of terror, possessing articles for making explosives, collating records likely to be useful to a person preparing a terrorist act, and possessing ammunition in the form of 34 .22 Winchester cartridges.

District Judge Timothy Workman remanded Gilleard in custody and committed the case to the Old Bailey, where he will next appear on November 23.
