Piggin, who suffers from Asperger's syndrome, is accused of plotting a 'new Columbine' and made videos of himself detonating Molotov Cocktails, the Old Bailey heard this week.

Piggin and his two co-defendants donned balaclavas for a series of videos of them making Molotov cocktails using wine bottles and white spirit.

He stockpiled homemade petrol bombs, terrorist manuals, and an array of weapons in his room as he planned attacks on his former school and the college where he was studying for his A-Levels.

What was the Columbine massacre?

In April 1999, Columbine High School students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold murdered a total of 12 students and one teacher before committing suicide. It remains the deadiest high school shooting in American history.

The killers intended to set off a series of bombs to divert emergency services and were armed with automatic weapons, 99 explosives and four knives.

The shooting sparked nationwide discussions about what caused Harris and Klebold to go on the rampage and reignited the debate over US gun control.

Hardcore ideology

Along with two of the would-be terrorists friends, the group called themselves the Urban Revolutionary Army.

The English Defence League supporter allegedly kept a notebook of potential targets, including the local mosque, cinema and council offices.

He'd also made plans for an armed assault on his former school as 'the new Columbine'.
