A PRIMARY school teacher from Cambridgeshire has been found guilty of carrying out a nationwide letter bomb campaign.
Eight people were hurt after Miles Cooper, 27, posted a series of explosive devices.
Cooper, from Cambridge, denied the charges but told a jury at Oxford Crown Court he sent seven devices to organisations around the country - in London, Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Kent, Birmingham and Swansea - in protest at the government's "overbearing" control.
Cooper said in court: "The overall goal was to shut down certain departments in certain buildings and ultimately to highlight my cause.''
