  • Mohammed Atif Siddique (centre) stands beside his lawyer Amaar Anwar (right) as he walks free from Court of Criminal appeal

    'I was curious and bored'

    Mohammed Atif Siddique to Victoria Derbyshire, 10/02/2010

    Mohammed Siddique was described as "Scotland's first homegrown terrorist," called a "wannabe suicide bomber," and jailed three-and-a-half years ago on terrorism charges. He's now a free man after the most serious of his convictions were overturned.

    In his first broadcast interview, Siddique and his lawyer explain that curiosity led to him to view terrorist videos and research bomb-making on the internet, and that he was never connected to al-Qaeda.

Tony Livesey, 09/02/2010
