background

Ian Davison, a former pub disc jockey and truck driver, unemployed and divorced, lived in Burnopfield , Durham with his 19-year-old, also unemployed son. Davison had several criminal records for burglary and property damage. At the time of his arrest, Ian was the head of the Aryan Strike Force (ASF) terrorist group . The organization was founded in January 2008 and was still developing. She was mostly active on the Internet, but also ran secret, paramilitary training sessions in Cumbria . Among other things also were swastika flags hoisted. The group consisted of 360 members and was organized internationally. In addition to the United Kingdom, ARSP also had members in Germany and Serbia . Ian Davison and his son Nicky determined the direction of the ARSP, whose enemies were mainly Muslims. The organization was also anti-Semitic and adored Adolf Hitler . ASF was headquartered in Durham and was funded by selling mouse pads and key rings .

Police found that Davison had made pipe bombs and purchased miracle trees from which the poison ricin could be made. In Davison's estate in Burnopfield , investigators found ricin in a Jar . How dangerous the crowd actually was cannot be said with certainty. While some investigators reckoned with more than 1,000 potential victims, the prosecution said the amount of poison was only enough for nine people. It is unclear how Davison wanted to prepare the poison, since the poison only unfolds its deadly effect through inhalation or infusion . Davison said he had planned to poison the water supply for Muslims in Serbia.

Davison was sentenced to ten years in prison. His son received two years probation. The two owned and traded the bomb-making guides Anarchist Cookbook by William Powell and The Poor Man's James Bond by Kurt Saxon , a supporter of the American Nazi Party . The judge investigating the case was surprised that both publications were available through regular stores, including Amazon.com , and urged that sales be stopped.

Nicky Davison said he did not share his father's racist views, but wanted to please him. During the trial, he said he listened to hip hop and R&B , much to his father's displeasure .

After Davison's arrest, the ASF website was taken offline. In June 2010, police found an arsenal of weapons and Nazi propaganda in two members in Merthyr Tydfil and Leigh , Greater Manchester .
