Student's terror conviction quashed

 

A student dubbed a "wannabe suicide bomber" has had his conviction quashed by appeal court judges.

Mohammed Atif Siddique, from Alva, Clackmannanshire, was jailed for eight years in October 2007 after being convicted of a series of terror offences.

He was the first person to be convicted of Islamist terror charges in Scotland. But three senior judges last month said he suffered a miscarriage of justice after the trial judge misdirected the jury.
