GLASGOW, Oct 23: A Scottish college student who declared that he intended to become a suicide bomber after scouring extremist Islamic sites on the Internet was sentenced on Tuesday to eight years in prison.
Mohammad Atif Siddique, 21, was convicted in September of four terrorism offences and also of causing a disturbance by telling fellow students he planned to become a suicide bomber.
Prosecutors said during the trial that Siddique was watched by security agents for several months before he was arrested in April 2006 as he tried to board a flight from Glasgow to Lahore.—AP
