Man on trial accused of terror offences in his Aberdeen home

A man has gone on trial accused of committing terror offences at his north-east home.

Yousif Badri faces a string of allegations – including being involved in conduct “with the intention of committing acts of terrorism”.

The 29-year-old – who was a medical student when he was arrested – went on trial at the High Court in Glasgow yesterday.

He denies three charges under the Terrorism Act.

He is alleged to have committed offences at two places in Aberdeen – his then-flat in Ashgrove Road as well as Berryden Retail Park.

Badri’s current address at Halifax in west Yorkshire is also included in the charges.

Prosecutors allege that between 2007 and 2013 Badri collected or made a record of information likely to be useful to a person “committing or preparing an act of terrorism”.

This allegedly included footage of terror attacks as well as instructions on “urban assassinations” and “guerrilla tactics”.

A second charge alleges Badri “with the intention of committing acts of terrorism” engaged in various actions between 2006 and 2013.

Accusations listed in the indictment include a claim he had an “equipment list” for attending a terrorist training camp in Afghanistan.

He is also accused of possessing “advice for those involved in conducting terrorist attack planning operations”.

The charge also alleges Badri had documents, recordings and files containing “extreme ideology”.

The final accusation is that on April 16 last year Badri posted on Twitter the phrase: “Whoever feels safe from punishment, misbehaves.”

The comment is alleged to have come from a copy of the Inspire magazine – described as being published by the “propaganda wing” of al-Qaeda.

Advocate depute Richard Goddard is leading the prosecution and Badri’s counsel is QC Murdo MacLeod.

The trial, before Judge Lord Turnbull, continues.
