A former Norwich school pupil, who was said to be suffering from the effects of stress after serving in war-torn Kosovo, was found with a “crude armoury” of weapons, including ingredients to make improvised petrol bombs, at his Norfolk home.

The court was told that he gave no motive for his actions, but had expressed strong views to police about plans by a Muslim group to protest during the repatriation of soldiers’ bodies at Wootton Bassett in Wiltshire, which he said was disrespectful.

New US Demands for Information Angers European Parliament
US officials are demanding access to additional European police databases in
their hunt for potential terrorists traveling to the US. The demands include
DNA samples, fingerprints, access to criminal registers and other
information. The request is being opposed by members of the European
Parliament.
Under massive pressure from the United States government, European Union
member states are moving to provide American security officials with access
to data in European police databases. Last week, Austria gave in to pressure
from Washington to provide access to data including DNA samples, criminal
registries and fingerprints.
Without the data exchange, the US ambassador in Vienna made clear to the
Austrian chancellor’s office that Washington would quickly remove Austria
from the list of countries that enjoy a visa waver for travel to the United
States. Other countries, including Germany, had already quietly acquiesced
to Washington’s firm wishes.

The original demands made by the US angered many politicians across Europe
and an initial deal was halted until the European Parliament extracted
concessions from Washington.
