White supremacist who wanted to ‘kill as many migrants as possible’ stockpiled petrol bombs and napalm to attack hotel housing asylum seekers, court hears

A ‘Nazi’ who wanted to ‘kill as many migrants as possible’ stockpiled petrol bombs and napalm in preparation for an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers, a court has heard.  Mikka Lee Anderson, 24, is said to have hidden his far-Right ideology behind a ‘veil of normality’, living with his partner and young child and holding down a job in a Wren Kitchens factory while allegedly plotting a terrorist attack. As well as planning to burn down the historic Royal Hotel in Hull city centre, Anderson also considered attacking Labour MP for Kingston upon Hull East Karl Turner, sharia law courts and a local imam, Newcastle Crown Court heard. On the first day of Anderson’s trial, where he denies preparing acts of terrorism and possessing articles for a terrorist purpose, the jury heard that he was an ‘ardent believer in white nationalism’ who admired Adolf Hitler, believed Muslims were going to ‘destroy the white population’ and non-white people were a ‘societal pest which needed to be dealt with.’ In the autumn of last year, Anderson began conducting ‘reconnaissance’ at the Royal Hotel, which was being used to house migrants and was a short walk from his house, and decided it ‘would make an excellent target for a terrorist attack,’ prosecutor Adam Birkby told jurors. At his home, he had cultivated a stash of some 20 knives and a crossbow as well as camouflage clothing and a gas mask. He also had a copy of the Anarchist’s Cookbook which helped him make Molotov cocktails, napalm and smoke bombs. Anderson allegedly tried to recruit others from Hull ‘who were willing to commit acts of terrorism’ but found many ‘did not share the defendant’s enthusiasm for the use of extreme violence or recoiled at the fact that the defendant was a self-declared Nazi,’ Mr Birkby said.
