Loyalist killer Michael Stone was remanded in custody today while police compile further evidence about a bomb attack on Stormont.
Stone (51) spoke only to confirm his name during a brief appearance via video link at Belfast Magistrates' Court.
He was captured on camera on November 24th trying to enter the Stormont, and two security guards trapped him in the doors of the building.
He was charged last month with attempting to murder five people, including Sinn Féin leaders Martin McGuinness and Gerry Adams, the two security guards and a person unknown.
He was also charged with possessing an imitation firearm, articles for terrorist purposes and explosives.
The court heard that prosecutors were still awaiting the results of forensic examinations on articles carried by Stone, which allegedly included nail bombs.
His case was adjourned today until January 19th next, and he was remanded in custody to Maghaberry Prison in Co Antrim.
Stone was sentenced to almost 700 years in prison for six murders, three committed during a lone gun and grenade attack on an IRA funeral in Belfast in 1988.
Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Hain revoked his early release from prison granted in 2000 after the signing of the Belfast Agreement.
