AN EXTREMIST described as the Animal Liberation Front’s main bomber faces life in jail after admitting yesterday that he planted explosive devices outside the home of a company director.
Detectives are now linking Donald Currie to ten similar attacks under investigation in six police force areas.
Currie, 40, pleaded guilty at Reading Crown Court to arson and to possessing explosive substances with intent to endanger life and property.
A senior police source said that Currie was the Animal Liberation Front’s “main active bomber” and described his detention as “a significant blow to animal rights extremism”.
The unemployed psychiatric nurse was arrested days after the bombing incident in March, for which the ALF claimed responsibility on its website.
An improvised bomb made from weedkiller and sugar was left under a car at the house of Caroline Brooks, 45, sales and marketing director of the courier company PDP.
A second device was found in a nearby garden, where it appeared to have been discarded. Neither was detonated but both could have inflicted serious damage.

"LEFTIST BIAS IN VET'S SIGHTS"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel "Buzz" Patterson warns of a threat to national security developing at home which is as serious and profound as any foreign enemy, and he is preparing to launch a campaign to win the struggle at home.
Patterson made his statements during an exclusive interview with International News Analysis.
A combat veteran pilot and twice New York Times best-selling author, Patterson is Chief Executive Officer of the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, an organization founded by David Horowitz, publisher of the Internet magazine, Front Page, and also a best-selling author.
Patterson is deeply troubled by the steady stream of misinformation about Iraq and U.S. troop actions in that country from the traditional news media, and the unwillingness of the media to examine the motives, tactics, and overall strategy of militant Islamic terror groups.
Patterson stated that celebrity leftists are using their influence and wealth to undermine support for the war on terror, while some academics are attempting to justify militant Islam's war on America.
Self-serving politicians, taking advantage of this anti-American domestic propaganda, are ready to come to power, to undermine the American military, and yield to terrorist pressure, said Patterson.
Should leftist politicians triumph in this year's Congressional elections and fulfill their promise to quickly withdraw from Iraq, U.S. troop morale would plunge, and the entire region would descend into bloody conflict, "a chaotic situation on an epic scale" as Islamic militants press their advantage against a retreating America and its allies, Patterson declared.
Millions could die, as did in Cambodia and Vietnam after America's quick withdrawal from Vietnam, noted Patterson.
At home, the leftist assault on America's defense and intelligence services would follow the course set after the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam, according to Patterson. A Congressional assault would leave the nation's defenses weakened, and could pave the way for a far-left, "McGovern-type" candidate, who could win the presidency, Patterson told International News Analysis.
America is in a struggle which "will determine the future course of the nation," and a loss to anti-war, pro-terror politicians could deliver a blow to national defense "from which the nation may never recover," warned Patterson."
