Miles Cooper letter bomb campaign
In the United Kingdom, a series of seven letter bombs were sent during January and February 2007 to various companies and agencies, all related in some way to DNA testing and road transport. Police said that some of the letters were hand written and some typed. All seven letter bombs were sent in A5 Jiffy-style envelopes.〔( Sky News ).〕 On 19 February 2007, Miles Cooper was arrested and (on 23 February) appeared in court charged with 12 offences relating to the case. On 27 September, he was found guilty of all 12 charges.
==Miles Cooper==
Miles Cooper, a 27-year-old former primary school caretaker from Cherry Hinton near Cambridge in the United Kingdom, was arrested on 19 February 2007 in conjunction with the 2007 letter bombs campaign, as a result of the Operation Hansel investigation.
He appeared in court to answer 12 charges related to the bombings on 23 February 2007. Seven of these charges relate to the seven letter bombs, while the other five relate to the injuries caused by the successful bombs. All of the low-impact explosive devices were sent to state institutions and private companies that Cooper believed were connected to the rise in surveillance society. He pleaded not guilty to the charge of intent to cause injury or death,〔("Letter bomb suspect's not guilty plea in court" ), Cambridge Evening News, 23 May 2007〕 claiming his actions were designed to draw attention to the issue of authoritarian government. He was convicted on 27 September 2007.〔("Jury finds letter bomber guilty" ), BBC News, 27 September 2007〕
On 28 September 2007, he was sentenced to an indeterminate term in prison. Sentencing him, Judge Julian Hall told Cooper "You are a terrorist, there can be no mistake", and said that he would have to serve 4 years and 149 days before he would be eligible to apply for parole. Judge Hall added "You come across as a quite unemotional young man with little empathy for others."〔(Letter bomber jailed for at least five years - icWales )〕
