A left-wing anarchist who idolised the Unabomber has been found guilty of preparing acts of terrorism after compiling and sharing a bomb-making manual, having boasted of wanting to kill more than 50 politicians.

Jacob Graham, 20, dedicated his manual - called the 'Freedom Encyclopaedia', to 'terrorists past and future, anarchists etc' and buried bomb-making chemicals in a secret woodland hide.

The computer science student who dubbed himself 'Destro the Destroyer' wrote a document called 'My Plan' in which he said he wanted to kill at least 50 people by attacking government buildings and politicians' houses.

Graham, from Norris Green in Liverpool, also made 138 videos, to be released on the day of an attack, in which he demonstrated explosives and talked about 'Judgement Day' and 'standing up for working class people'.
