Neo-Nazi Tesco worker’s chilling manifesto revealed after MI5 sting

► A Neo-Nazi who planned a mass gun attack and made a “kill list” of his Tesco colleagues and customers has been jailed for 13-and-a-half-years. Alfie Coleman, who was caught in an undercover MI5 sting while trying to buy weapons including a submachine gun, wrote a “manifesto” detailing potential targets - including the Lord Mayor of London and a mosque - and spouting racist beliefs. The 22-year-old, from Great Notley in Essex, was earlier found guilty of preparing for terrorist acts after an Old Bailey retrial. He was also handed a further five years on extended licence. Authorities first became concerned about Coleman in the summer of 2023 when he became active on online extreme right-wing groups. Then, in September, he arranged to buy a Skorpion automatic weapon, an AK47 rifle and bullets in France, having identified a local mosque as his target. The plan was abandoned, but then he was lured in by the MI5 under a bogus plan to buy other weapons, and arrested in a Morrisons car park in Stratford, east London. A search of the home Coleman shared with his parents and sibling revealed the extent of his murderous ideology, including idolising Thomas Mair, the extremist who killed MP Jo Cox. Police seized a collection of knives, a small stone axe, an air rifle and a flyer about target shooting. An analysis of his electronic devices revealed that in July 2021, Coleman emailed the far-right white supremacist organisation Patriotic Alternative saying he “would like to start participating in activism”. He went on to write down plans for potential terrorist attacks such as hijacking a plane and targeting the home of the Lord Mayor of London. They involved putting explosives in a cash machine as well as the use of knives and crossbows, the court was told. Giving evidence, Coleman described being lonely and suffering with his mental health during Covid lockdowns. He had admitted attempting to possess both a firearm and ammunition but denied he was preparing for a terrorist attack. ► Have you subscribed to 5 News?: http://bit.ly/5NewsSub ► Follow 5 News on Twitter to keep up to date with the latest news - https://twitter.com/5_News Message us on Facebook to share your opinion - https://www.facebook.com/c5News See our latest pictures and videos on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/c5news/ ► About 5 News: We bring you the stories that matter to you, from around the world and across the UK. 🎥 We post daily playlists with the biggest news of the day, interviews, special reports and investigations. 📺 Catch us on TV on Channel 5 every weekday 5-6pm 📱 Get in touch with us on WhatsApp at +44 7555 500 501 🎧 Listen to "How Did We Get Here?
