An alleged neo-Nazi in Sweden was arrested with bomb-making material that could have been used to kill hundreds, according to court documents provided to VICE News. An alleged neo-Nazi in Sweden who used mass-murderer Anders Brevik as an avatar online and ruminated on how killing children can be moral was arrested with bomb-making material that could have been used to kill hundreds. Police arrested Jim Holmgren, 25, on November 4, 2021, at his small farm home outside of Falköping, Sweden, and Swedish authorities announced a bevy of weapons charges against him last Friday. He wasn’t, however, charged with terrorism, since his alleged target remains unknown. According to court documents provided to VICE News, investigators found a revolver, modified high powered air rifles, ingredients to make powerful explosives, and neo-Nazi literature strewn about his home. Holmgren, who’s now awaiting trial, was also allegedly involved with a Scandanavian neo-Nazi group and drew inspiration from neo-Nazis like Atomwaffen Division, an infamous accelerationist group connected to several murders. Police found five documents allegedly written by Holmgren about his plan, one of which they characterized as a manifesto. One of the documents outlined why it’s morally just for neo-Nazis to kill children much like Brevik did in 2011 when he murdered 77 people, mostly children. In another, Holmgren chastised neo-Nazi groups for not being willing to commit acts of mass murder to further the cause, according to court documents. (…) Strewn across the place were destroyed pots, pans and scientific equipment police allege were used for attempted bomb production, a revolver, body armor, replica weapons, empty shells for creating ammunition, knives, air rifles, and 3D-printed weapon parts as well as the printer which created them. Police said Holmgren seemed to be in the process of “modifying” the weapons. Holmgren wasn’t allowed to have a gun license because of his affiliation with a neo-Nazi group and had assaulted a woman during a neo-Nazi rally once before, according to Swedish media outlets that first reported the court documents. (…) “A significant part of the images that Holmgren has saved on his desk is propaganda for the Atomwaffen Division, right-wing extremist memes or propaganda,” the charging documents reads. “The images call for violence or to accelerate the collapse of society and glorify the Islamic State. Many of the calls for violence are directed at the state and government officials.”
