Asad Bhatti was described in court as a loner who had a deep-seated hatred for those he considered as 'hypocrites' - along with others for their ethnicity and sexuality. He was convicted of having a stash of bomb-making materials after police received a tip-off from a computer repair shop.

Police raided Bhatti's home in Redhill, Surrey, where he lived with his brother and his brother's family and arrested him on 8 January.

They also found an improvised detonator containing home-made gunpowder and the remnants of nitroglycerin inside various items of glassware. The court heard Bhatti had started on a programme of"self-education, research and experiments" while he was unemployed for three years between 2008 and 2011. "You understood the quality of what you did, your interest was real and caused you to experiment in a way that was highly dangerous. I do find you present a significant risk of serious harm in the future."
