White Wolves

The White Wolves was a British nationalist and racist militant organization which claimed responsibility for several racially-motivated bombings in London in 1999.

Mike Whine, head of the Board of Jewish Deputies theorized that the White Wolves were a splinter group of Combat 18, deriving their name from a Serbian death-squad. Around the time of the Brixton nail-bomb, 25 people received stenciled notes from the White Wolves, stating:

"Notice is hereby given that all non-whites (defined by blood, not religion) must permanently leave the British Isles before the year is out. Jews & non-whites who remain after 1999 has ended will be exterminated. When the clocks strike midnight on the 31st of December 1999 the White Wolves will begin to howl and when the Wolves begin to howl the Wolves begin to hunt. You have been warned. Hail Britannia."

At the time of the bombings, police authorities believed that former Combat 18 second-in-command Del O'Connor was the likely head of the White Wolves [ [http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/1999/apr/28/uksecurity.stuartmillar Anti-terror police seek White Wolf racist over bombs] April 28 1999.
