Former soldier who issued mosque bomb threat jailed
A former soldier who threatened to bomb Glasgow Central Mosque has been jailed for 12 months.
Neil MacGregor, 38, also said he would execute Muslims on a daily basis unless every mosque in Scotland was closed down.
He was originally placed on probation for three years, but breached the order.
Sheriff Lindsay Foulis said: “In this day and age to carry out the conduct he did is an extremely serious matter.”
MacGregor, of Crieff, made the threats in an email and a series of telephone calls to Strathclyde Police in 2007.
Fiscal depute John Malpass told Perth Sheriff Court: “Because of the nature of the threat, senior officers and anti-terrorist officers were notified. Enquiries were made in relation to the source of the emails.
