Mohammed Atif Siddique: Terror conviction overturned.
A student who was jailed for eight years in 2007 and branded a "wannabe suicide bomber" is to find out if he is to be released after his conviction was overturned on appeal.
Appeal Court judges in Edinburgh said in January that Mohammed Atif Siddique, 24,from Alva in Clackmannanshire, had suffered a miscarriage of justice and quashed his conviction.
Three judges concluded that Lord Carloway, the judge in Mohammed Atif Siddique’s original trial had misdirected the jury.

Throughout the case, Mr Siddique has protested his innocence, claiming that when he downloaded material from the internet he was motivated only by curiosity. He denied he was planning any terrorist attack.
The Crown will now confirm whether or not it wishes to seek a fresh prosecution.
Mr Siddique was found guilty of three charges under the Terrorism Acts and of a breach of the peace following a four week trial at the High Court in Glasgow.
Should the Crown decide not to launch a fresh prosecution, Mr Siddique could walk free from custody.
