Terror trial: Cleared man speaks out
AMJAD Mahmood, aged 32, of Jackson Road, Alum Rock, was cleared of knowing about the plot and failing to tell the authorities, and supplying equipment.
In a statement read by his lawyer, he thanked the jury for "all their hard work in coming to the decision about me".
He said: "I am not a terrorist, I am a Muslim.
"The Government has to be responsible about how they deal with people accused of terrorism."
Asking for privacy, he said: "It has been the hardest year of my life. I am looking forward to returning to my family and seeing my six-month-old baby for the first time."
