A DERRY man accused of committing terrorist offences in Syria, has been found not guilty of three of the charges he faced.
Eamon Bradley, 28 and whois originally from Melmore Gardens, had denied a total of six charges during his 12-day trial at Derry Crown Court.
Today, Thursday, February 16, he was acquitted of three charges of possessing grenades with intent to endanger life or cause damage to property.
The jury of 11 women and men was unable to reach verdicts on the three other charges.
The trial is now over as the jury said it would not be able to reach majority verdicts on the three remaining charges.
It is now up to the Public Prosecution Service to decide if there is to be a retrial on the three charges.
These allege that Mr Bradley attended a terrorist training camp in Syria where he received instructions on the use of AK47 assault rifles and in two machine guns as well as instructions on the use of a grenade.
He was charged with committing those offences in Syria between 31 March and 30 September 2014.
A decision on whether there will be retrial will be announced by the PPS next month.
The case was the first of its kind in Northern Ireland where a person had been charged with committing offences in a foreign jurisdiction.
Bradley admitted going to Syria to help fight President Assad’s regime in Syria.
