An anti-Islam extremist has admitted plotting to become the first far-right suicide bomber after planning to blow up a mosque in revenge for the UK\u2019s Manchester terror attack.<\/p>\n
Steven Bishop, 41, was obsessed with the Manchester Arena attack, which saw an extremist suicide bomber kill 22 people in May 2017, and the death of its youngest victim eight-year-old Saffie Roussos.<\/p>\n
Using encrypted apps and forums on the dark web, he bought bomb making equipment and manuals last year.<\/p>\n
Similar forums were also used by New Zealand\u2019s Christchurch terrorist prior to his mosque attacks last month which left 50 people dead.<\/p>\n
The UK extremist, who is an alcoholic and drug addict from Thornton Health, south London, was caught after he made chilling remarks about his plans to a support worker.<\/p>\n
He confessed to purchasing an app to encrypt his phone and said he was going to commit a suicide mission on the Baitul Futuh Mosque in Morden, near his address, using a home-made bomb.<\/p>\n
Counter-terrorism police raided his home last October and found a suitcase in a shed at his address containing the materials for an improvised detonator and a recipe for making explosives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
