A MAN charged with terror offences in Scotland is to stand trial in Glasgow later this year.

Yousif Badri faces a string of allegations including an accusation he was involved in conduct "with the intention of committing acts of terrorism".

He is also alleged to have posted on Twitter a phrase linked to the propaganda wing of Al-Qaeda.

The offences are said to have been carried out at two places in Aberdeen - Ashgrove Road and Berryden Retail Park - as well as the 29 year-old's current address in Halifax, Yorkshire.

Badri pled not guilty to three charges under the Terrorism Act during today/yesterday's short hearing.

Judge Lord Bannatyne set a trial due to begin on August 24 in Glasgow.

The case is expected to last up to six weeks. Badri's bail was continued.

Prosecutors first claim that Badri - between 2007 and 2013 - did collect or make 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".

The 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 said to have possessed "advice for those involved in conducting terrorist attack planning operations".

The charge further states Badri had documents, recordings and files containing "extreme ideology".

The final accusation claims that Badri on April 16 last year did post on Twitter the phrase: "Whoever feels safe from punishment, misbehaves".

The comment is said to have come from a copy of the Inspire magazine - described as being published by the "propaganda wing" of Al-Qaeda.

Prosecutor Richard Goddard had described the case at a previous hearing as "exceptional in the quantity of material" involved.

The court also heard today/yesterday that the trial will be before Judge Lord Turnbull.

A further pre-trial hearing in front of him will take place on March 16, which is expected to be in Edinburgh.
