Lest We Forget ... this sick devil planted a nail bomb in the middle of Brixton market on a busy Saturday afternoon ... [/align]
Copeland, from Cove, Hampshire, launched his campaign after constructing bombs from instructions downloaded from anarchist publications on the internet and with materials bought from DIY stores and high street shops. While working as an engineer on the Jubilee line Tube project and living in a series of bedsits, he perfected the bomb-making techniques that he would later use to rock the capital over 14 days and terrify minority communities. After he was arrested he told police he had been planning to bomb Southall in west London, which has a large Asian population, the following week. On his arrest, Copeland immediately claimed responsibility for all 3 nail bombs that he had planted, stating that he had selected his targets for political reasons. Describing himself as a Nazi, Copeland said that his aim was to cause murder, mayhem, chaos and damage and set off a racial war.
After the nail bomb exploded in Brixton, the Daily Mail claimed that it might have been the work of "Jamaican Yardies".
