Probation for mosque threat man

Muslim leaders called for action against the threat of violence from the extreme right after a man was sentenced for threatening to blow up a mosque.

Neil MacGregor was given three years probation at Glasgow Sheriff Court after pleading guilty to breaching the peace and failing to appear in court.

The 36-year-old admitted telephoning and emailing Strathclyde Police and threatening to blow up Glasgow's Central Mosque in February 2007.
