Student found not guilty of terror plot targeting Blairs

STUDENT Erol Incedal was acquitted yesterday of targeting Tony Blair and his wife Cherie Blair as part of a terrorist plot in Britain’s first ever secret terror trial.

The 27-year-old broke down in tears s he was found not guilty after a retrial at the Old Bailey of plotting to attack high-profile individuals or carry out a “Mumbai-style” outrage.

Mr Incedal was convicted last year of possessing a bomb-making manual on a memory card at the time of his arrest in October 2013.
