A man "obsessed with revenge" against the legal system after losing a court case has been jailed for 15 years.<\/p>\n

A police raid on the Halifax home of Ashkan Ebrahimi in October 2015 discovered chemicals, swords, crossbows and high-powered air rifles.<\/p>\n

Evidence was also found that the 33-year-old had visited the home addresses of police officers and the judge involved his case.<\/p>\n

West Yorkshire Police said Ebrahimi planned on "harming a police officer".<\/p>\n

The force said he became "obsessed with revenge" after a court granted his former partner a non-molestation order, which led to him being separated from his young child. <\/p>\n

"The effects of this action sowed the seeds of a deep hatred of the police that grew exponentially from that moment," a police spokesman said.<\/p>\n

"He believed that the police were committed to destroying his life and set about seeking to take extreme violent action against them."<\/p>\n

He was arrested after concerns were raised by Calderdale College, where Ebrahimi had enrolled on an adult GCSE science course, about his unusual interest in chemicals and wanting to develop a science lab at home.<\/p>\n

A large amount of chemicals were recovered from his address, along with an extensive collection of weapons, police said.<\/p>\n

His mobile phone had vehicle registration numbers of the cars and photographs of the homes of people involved in his case.<\/p>\n

An analysis of his sat-nav showed he had visited the address of the judge who had issued the order, as well as the addresses of police officers and the solicitor of his former partner.<\/p>\n

He had searched the internet on the use and effects of chemicals and how police officers are protected when not at work.<\/p>\n

Ebrahimi, of Oak Lane, Halifax, was found guilty at Bradford Crown Court of possessing explosives with intent to endanger life, possession of an offensive weapon, possession of a bladed article in a public place, and stalking offences. <\/p>\n

He was given an extended five-year licence period on top of his prison sentence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
