Free, the Briton Full of Hate Who Ordered a Bomb for Sharron
Byline: DAVID WILLIAMS
A TERRORIST plot to send parcel bombs to sports stars in mixed-race marriages was masterminded by a British neo-Nazi.
The 26-year-old former skinhead ordered a Danish thug to select targets including former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies.
The Briton supplied a hit list, explosive and a handgun. He was secretly recorded by police during telephone conversations discussing the plot.
Yet even though three Danish neo-Nazis were jailed by a Copenhagen court last week for posting bombs to England, the South Londoner who played the pivotal role has escaped prosecution.

Following the arrests other sports stars, such as boxer Frank Bruno, England soccer player Paul Ince and Olympic medallist Kriss Akabusi, who are in mixed marriages, were warned they could be targets.
Among others listed at Nakaba's home were MPs Peter Hain and Kate Hoey, TV presenter Denis Norden, Vanessa Redgrave, Anna Ford and Bernard Levin.
'The Briton told Nakaba that Sharron Davies was a race traitor and that she should be taught a lesson,' said Danish detective Tom Damgaard. 'In his apartment we found literature from Combat 18 in England describing exactly how a bomb could be made and how it should be sent.
