Loyalist killer Michael Stone was remanded in custody today after appearing in court charged with storming the Northern Ireland Assembly.
Michael Stone
Stone (51) from east Belfast, was told he must wait in prison while forensic experts work on his case.
Stone tried to enter Stormont on November 24th before being stopped by two security guards. He was charged with attempting to murder Sinn Féin leaders Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness and the two officials.
He appeared at Belfast Magistrates' Court by video-link from Maghaberry Prison.
He identified himself as "the artist Michael Stone".
Stone, who killed three people when he fired a gun and launched grenades at west Belfast mourners at an IRA funeral in 1988, was released early from his life sentence.
His release licence for the Milltown murders was revoked in November and he was also charged with possessing home-made explosives, an imitation firearm and articles for terrorist purposes.
In the past he has dubbed his attack on Stormont "performance art".
Prosecutors are awaiting the results of forensic tests on devices which he carried at the time.
He was remanded in custody to reappear via video link on March 30th.
