A British man who fantasized about assassinating Prince Charles with
a rifle and compared himself to Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring
Breivik has been detained indefinitely under mental health laws.

Colborne was convicted of planning terrorism in September. Prosecutors
said the 37-year-old wrote about his hatred for "non-Aryans" and about
how he was "looking for major retribution, a mass terrorist attack."
They said he suffered from depression and felt marginalized as a white,
red-haired man.
Colborne was arrested in June 2014 after his
family uncovered chemicals, items related to making lethal poison and
notes detailing his racial hatred in his bedroom. Judge John Bevan
said Tuesday that Colborne was a "warped individual" whose
"extraordinarily violent fantasies" were seriously concerning.
