Man Gets Life Terms in London Bombings

A white supremacist was found guilty of murder and sentenced to six life sentences after a series of bombings last year against minorities in London that killed three people and injured more than 100. David Copeland, 24, showed “pitiless contempt” for the victims of three separate bomb attacks in the British capital’s gay, black and Bangladeshi communities, the judge at London’s Old Bailey court said. Copeland, an engineer from Farnborough, told police that he carried out the attacks because he wanted to start a “racial war.” But he argued that, because of mental illness, he should be found guilty only of manslaughter.
