Parcel bomb accused 'learned about hoax devices by watching A-Team'

A man accused of sending parcel bombs to Neil Lennon said he learned how to make a hoax bomb from watching an episode of the A-Team, a court heard.

In a police interview, Neil McKenzie, 42, admitted he told someone else how to make a hoax device, but refused to name the other person.

He also said he had no involvement with a package which was sent to Mr Lennon.

Mr McKenzie and Trevor Muirhead, 43, deny a plot to kill Mr Lennon, Trish Godman and the late Paul McBride QC.

Mr Muirhead and Mr McKenzie are alleged to have planned to "assault and murder" Celtic manager Mr Lennon, the former MSP Ms Godman and prominent lawyer Mr McBride between 1 March and 15 April last year.

The charge claims the pair sent another suspected bomb to the offices of Cairde na hEireann (Friends of Ireland) in the Gallowgate, Glasgow.

Both men are also accused of having made and possessed Triacetone Triperoxide with the intent to endanger life.

Mr Muirhead and Mr McKenzie deny all charges.

The trial, before Lord Turnbull, continues.
