[quote]An unrepentant Ukrainian right-wing extremist today admitted murdering an elderly Muslim man and a series of bomb attacks on mosques to try to spark a race war in Britain.
Pavlo Lapshyn, a talented and highly intelligent engineer, stabbed his 82-year-old victim three times in the back just five days after he stepped off a plane to start a prestigious placement at a hi-tech software design firm in Birmingham.
Mohammed Saleem was attacked as he was walking from prayers but police appeals - with little forensic evidence, no witnesses and only grainy CCTV footage - meant that detectives had little to go on until Lapshyn began his bombing campaign nearly two months later.
Lapshyn, 25, from the industrial city of Dnipropetrovsk, was a self-radicalised extremist inspired by Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber, whose picture he posted online on the night of his first bomb attack on a mosque in Walsall, West Midlands on June 21.
The attacks escalated over the next three weeks with the most lethal device packed with hundreds of nails designed to maim people gathering in the car park of Tipton Mosque for Friday prayers. Carnage was only avoided because the time for prayers advertised on the mosque's website was delayed by an hour because it was Ramadan.
"Had it been full, the consequences would have been unimaginable," said Det Supt Shaun Edwards, who headed the investigation that finally caught Lapshyn.[/quote]

so this guy's racist attack was foiled because he didn't know enough about the culture he was targeting. that's like, poetic justice or ironing or something
I'd be interested to find out if he was determined to do this before he'd arrived considering how soon it was before he killed someone.
This is the most terrifying type of person, intelligent and violent with no fear of consequences.
He brought his little own slice of terror to Tipton.
When something like that, even when it failed happened so close to home it is pretty fucking scary, and I thought our area was pretty unknown.
