Connor Ward has failed in his bid to have his conviction quashed.
A man who is serving life for planning terrorism attacks on Scottish mosques has launched an appeal against his conviction.
Connor Ward, from Banff, was jailed for life after being caught with a cache of weapons and bomb-making equipment, as well as a map of all the mosques in Aberdeen.
The 25-year-old – who previously sparked a bomb scare after threatening to blow himself and his dad up – had also pledged to usher in the “demise” of Islam.
He had denied breaching the Terrorism Act, but was found guilty after trial.
In April this year, he was jailed for life and told he would have to serve at least six years before being eligible for parole.
Now he is appealing both his sentence and conviction.
At a brief hearing at the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh yesterday, a date was fixed for December 13.
