Neo-Nazi Jailed for Weapons Cache and Plotting Attack on LGBTQ+ Group

Alan Edward, 55, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for terrorism-related offenses, including possession of an 'armoury' of weapons and promoting far-right extremism online.

Alan Edward, a 55-year-old neo-Nazi from Falkirk, Scotland, was convicted of multiple terrorism charges and sentenced to 10 years in prison with an additional five years of supervised release.
Police discovered a significant weapons stockpile at his home, including a crossbow, machetes, knives with Nazi insignia, and a stun gun, which prosecutors described as an 'armoury.'
Edward used online platforms to spread racist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic content, including Holocaust denial and propaganda for the banned far-right group National Action.
Court evidence revealed Edward discussed violent plans to attack an LGBTQ+ group, stating they would 'pay in blood,' and idolized mass murderer Anders Breivik.
Authorities emphasized the importance of Edward's conviction in preventing potential acts of terrorism and safeguarding public safety.
