A suspected neo-Nazi accused of hoarding bomb-making materials at his home appeared in court today to face terrorist charges.

Nathan Worrell, 34, appeared at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court via video link from Blakenhurst Prison, Worcestershire, for a short hearing.

Police allegedly found bomb-making manuals, weedkiller and dismantled fireworks at his home in Grimsby, Lincolnshire.

Unemployed Worrell is also accused of possessing a collection of far-right wing political literature and propaganda.

He faces a third non-terrorist charge of waging a racist campaign of harassment against an Asian man and his partner.

District Judge Nicholas Evans adjourned the case until March 13 when Worrell will be committed to crown court.

Worrell, of Cromwell Road, Grimsby, wore a grey sweatshirt and spoke only to confirm his name.

He was arrested on January 24 after officers raided his ground-floor flat.

Worrell was questioned for several days before being charged with two offences under the Terrorism Act.

He is accused of possessing material for terrorist purposes and information useful for an act of terrorism.

There was no application for bail and no formal plea has been entered.
