Trial for terror suspect who had ‘Uncle Fester’ bomb guide
A terror suspect accused of possessing a guide to bomb-making called ‘Uncle Fester’s Home Workshop Explosives’ will face trial in October, a court heard today (Fri).
Charles Cannon, 20, is also accused of possessing six other documents that could help terrorists.
These documents include: ‘Unconventional warfare devices and techniques,’ ‘Guerrilla warfare and special forces operations,’ ‘Unconventional warfare devices and techniques incendiaries’
‘Booby traps’ and ‘Potential military chemical/biological agents and compounds.’
Cannon appeared at the Old Bailey via video link wearing large square glasses and a white shirt.
Prosecutor Benjamin Isaacs said: ‘A date has been identified for trial -the 10th of October in Winchester Crown Court.
‘And I understand a plea and trial preparation hearing in July.’
Cannon, of Highfield Avenue, Aldershot, faces seven charges of possessing a document of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
Mr Justice Sweeney continued Cannon’s bail, reiterating that he must live and sleep each night at his home address and must also surrender his passport.
The terror suspect will reappear for a plea and trial preparation hearing on 1 July.
